Sometimes the smallest thing left behind says the most.
Firefighters searching the wreckage of a home destroyed in the Sandy Fire in Simi Valley found a Boyle family wedding ring in the ashes, according to NBC4.
Members of Los Angeles Fire Department Engine 85 were combing through the remains of the Boyle family’s home when they made the discovery. The Ventura County Fire Department later shared photos on X of the Boyle family, firefighters and the recovered ring.
The fire started on May 18 and spread into a neighborhood northwest of Los Angeles, drawing help from agencies across California.
According to The Fresno Bee, the Sandy Fire is now 100 percent contained after burning 2,183 acres in 10 days.
Authorities had not officially determined the cause of the blaze. Police said a person using a tractor for brush clearance reported that the machinery may have struck a rock, possibly creating sparks that started the fire.
“The Boyle family has expressed their incredible gratitude to VCFD and all of the firefighters from around California who responded to this incident,” the Ventura County Fire Department said.
