West Valley High School is closed Monday due to a nearby fire. It’s not threatening the campus but the school day was canceled for fear that smoke may drift that way. Cal-Fire/Shasta County Fire responded shortly after 5 O’clock Monday morning to a fire burning in grass and Oak woodland in the area of Happy Hills Drive and Nebraska Way off Happy Valley Road. Forward progress was stopped shortly before 8 O’clock at around 10 acres.
