It's been a week from hell for thousands of people living in Lake County, just north of Napa. Since the Valley Fire broke out last Saturday, nearly 600 homes have been destroyed, with thousands more threatened by flames. More than 70,000 acres have burned. Cal Fire is calls the blaze the ninth-worst wildfire in California history, and it's far from being out. Host Scott Shafer, who visited Lake County earlier this week, talks to two other KQED reporters covering the fire, Alex Emslie and Sukey Lewis.
