Anderson Springs is an unincorporated community in Lake County, California.

[4] In September 2015, Anderson Springs was devastated in the Valley Fire, which caused two fatalities and destroyed 90% of the town's homes, leaving most community members homeless.

[7][8] A video that was widely disseminated on the internet shows a man and his family escaping the area in his car, with fires burning on either side of the road.

[9][10] The man had been driving a diesel van at the head of his family's 3-car convoy to escape from a house built in the 1930s by his great-grandfather.

[11] The community has started to organize cleanup and rebuild soon after the fire and numerous fundraisers have been created on platforms like GoFundMe to help finance the works.
