A woman survived the carnage of the Las Vegas shooting to then suffer the further trauma of seeing her home burn down with most of her possessions a week later in the California wildfires.

Michella Flores had returned to her parents' home, in the city of Santa Rosa, days after fleeing the bullets of gunman Stephen Paddock, who killed 58 people on the Las Vegas strip.

Instead of spending time with her family recovering from witnessing the most deadly gun massacre in recent American history, she found herself battling flames as they approached the property.

“Last Sunday, I was running from bullets. This Sunday, I was running from fire,” she said, speaking to KTVU.

“I was really shook up after Vegas. I was shaking and I couldn’t calm down. When I was fighting the fire at my house, I was more in a ‘task’ mode, and so I compartmentalised it.”
