William “Bill“ Clayton saved hundreds of lives and even entire towns during career that spanned 50 years.
Caltrans unveiled a memorial sign Monday and renamed a section of Interstate 5 in honor of Cal Fire Division Chief William “Bill“ Clayton, who served nearly 50 years and was one of the most decorated firefighters in Cal Fire history. A three-mile stretch of the freeway between La Costa Avenue and Cannon Road will bear Clayton's name. Fire and Caltrans officials joined family members and guests Monday afternoon for a dedication ceremony at the Batiquitos Lagoon Welcome Center in Carlsbad.
” Clayton retired after 40 years with Cal Fire in 1998, but he missed the action and soon returned to active duty, staying another 10 years. Cal Fire officials credit Clayton with leading the effort that saved nearly 200 people trapped in the Valley View casino during the Paradise fire of 2003, one of several deadly wildfires that year. When Clayton arrived at the casino, flames were lapping at the rear of the building and threatened a 10,000-gallon propane tank.
