Whether the fire was intentionally set or not is also not clear, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire was reported to 911 around 10:15 a.m. on June 3 at the affordable housing project site known as Middlefield Junction, being built by Mercy Housing California. The project consists of two buildings totaling 179 apartments, located on San Mateo County-owned property at 2700 Middlefield Rd. in the North Fair Oaks neighborhood south of Redwood City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One building, which had 104 planned units, burned down to its concrete foundation, while a neighboring 75-unit building that includes a planned child care center was not damaged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Construction workers at the site tried to put out the blaze with fire extinguishers but were unsuccessful, the fire district said in a Jan. 29 statement. “The building was evacuated safely, 911 was called, and the fire spread quickly consuming the entire structure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11989028 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/Redwood-City-Fire-3_qut-1020x740.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district said 36 fire engines and six ladder trucks from around San Mateo and Santa Clara counties were called in to help control the fire and ultimately contained it to the one building. Some fences and vehicles near the property were damaged due to the fire, Johnston said, but no injuries were reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire’s spread was accelerated because of the exposed wood framing throughout most of the in-progress structure, along with open airflow and other fuel sources, such as construction materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The building had some windows installed, but it had no doors, was not weather sealed, and was “open to free ventilation,” contributing to a “total burn,” the report said. Fire sprinkler systems were still being installed but not complete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators also received varying reports about the “housekeeping of the construction site,” which could have contributed to the rapid fire spread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire district, along with the San Mateo County Fire Investigation Task Force, interviewed witnesses, including site workers and neighbors, and reviewed pictures, videos and other evidence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crews also conducted tests of different potential ignition sources, documenting how things like a cigarette, chopping saw and a soldering torch might have started the fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They had no smoking signs. We are told people smoke, but we don’t know where,” Johnston said. “We also had sparks from cutting tools because we were told that there was some metal cutting going on around that location, or there was also potential for some pipe sweating, but maybe not. So we took that again as a possibility,” Johnston said of the testing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnston said the investigation is complete for now but could be reopened if new information is discovered or brought to investigators that warrant follow-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the days after the fire, county officials \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11989028/affordable-housing-building-near-redwood-city-will-be-rebuilt-after-fire\">vowed the housing project would be rebuilt\u003c/a>. A county spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Mateo County needs to build more than 1,200 housing units for low- and very-low-income families by 2031 to meet its expected demand, and the damaged complex was among the largest in the county’s development pipeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kelly Hollywood, an associate director of real estate for Mercy Housing, said the organization received approvals from the fire district and county building officials and has moved forward with site cleanup and construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are on track to open the first building, featuring 75 apartments, this summer, and the second building, with 104 apartments, in early 2026,” Hollywood said in an email. “Mercy Housing California is thrilled to bring these affordable homes for families and a new childcare center to serve the North Fair Oaks and surrounding communities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Some fences and vehicles near the property were damaged due to the fire, Johnston said, but no injuries were reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire’s spread was accelerated because of the exposed wood framing throughout most of the in-progress structure, along with open airflow and other fuel sources, such as construction materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The building had some windows installed, but it had no doors, was not weather sealed, and was “open to free ventilation,” contributing to a “total burn,” the report said.

We are told people smoke, but we don’t know where,” Johnston said. “We also had sparks from cutting tools because we were told that there was some metal cutting going on around that location, or there was also potential for some pipe sweating, but maybe not. So we took that again as a possibility,” Johnston said of the testing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnston said the investigation is complete for now but could be reopened if new information is discovered or brought to investigators that warrant follow-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the days after the fire, county officials \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11989028/affordable-housing-building-near-redwood-city-will-be-rebuilt-after-fire\">vowed the housing project would be rebuilt\u003c/a>.

Levees generally take the form of either an earthen embankment or a floodwall made of concrete or other materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Levees are different from dams, which are built across waterways to hold back and collect water in reservoirs.

The Russian River town is just downstream from Venado, a site in the northern Sonoma County hills that is one of the rainiest locations in California.

He said that there isn’t much he thinks can be done to alleviate the issue, since it would require a lot of real estate and expensive renovation to lift the low-lying part of the road enough to avoid flood risk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even when Guerneville itself isn’t impacted, this road will close because [it’s] at such a low point,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Osborne expects the flooding to go down enough to cross the road by Wednesday night, but if there are any showers in the afternoon, it could mean at least another day of being flooded in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Creeks throughout central Sonoma County also reached moderate flood levels early Wednesday. Green Valley Creek at Martinelli Road and Colgan Creek near Sebastopol are both expected to follow a similar receding trend as the Russian River, but the risk remains high at Mark West Creek near Mirabel Heights, which is projected to crest above major flood levels. It had reached 65 feet as of 7:45 a.m., according to NWS observations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa, flood risk downtown at the Napa River was downgraded Wednesday morning after an earlier forecast projected major flooding risk. It hovered around 23.5 feet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The flood gates on McKinstry Street near downtown’s Oxbow Market were closed by the Napa County Flood District and the city on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County spokesperson Linda Weinreich said that street teams were assessing mudslides that began overnight near Moore Creek Park in St. Helena and on Redwood Road near Oak Knoll and were trying to clear downed trees while there’s a break in the rain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the forecast “shows that the rains are returning tomorrow — things, of course, could change — but it’s a good time to get sandbags,” she said. “And we want people also to sign up for emergency notifications.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The return of rain on Thursday could bring downtown 1.5 inches more rainfall to Sonoma and Napa counties, according to Oudit. Gusty winds could knock down more trees and power lines, and more showers could exacerbate current road flooding and ponding near buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The challenge is that there’s not enough time to actually do anything,” Hopkins said. “I think that we’re all going to be waiting on pins and needles to see if that damage spreads.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resources for Sonoma County evacuees and people who experienced flooding will be available at the West County Services Center, known to locals as the Bank of America building in downtown Guerneville, in the coming days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the storm clears later this week, Hopkins said the county will look at how to better prepare for future storms. Her office has been working on safety and evacuation procedures with parks, trying to secure contracts with towing companies ahead of time, and looking for ways to give people longer warning windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Forestville Youth Park, where many evacuees fled Tuesday, quickly reached capacity, so the county also opened its Guerneville park-and-ride for trailers. Hopkins said during greater floods, though, that location would be underwater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We also have to be careful if suddenly flood estimates are jumping up by a number of feet, then we run the risk of putting people in a place that could actually flood as well,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mudslides, like a large one that damaged roads and carried an unoccupied home into the river in Forestville on Tuesday afternoon, are more challenging to prepare for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reality is that we have a lot of homes that were built along old logging roads on extraordinarily steep slopes right next to the Russian River, which is one of the most powerful, sort of flashiest rivers,” Hopkins said. “When all of that water starts coming down, it can rise very, very quickly and have a tremendous amount of force. There’s not a whole lot that we can do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hopkins said efforts will also shift to assessing damage and beginning eexpensive repairs — like to a road that fell into the Russian River during Tuesday’s mudslide — that need to be done before fire season in the spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are critical evacuation routes during fire season and those kinds of projects — that kind of permitting — takes a really long time to actually get through,” she told KQED. “One of our biggest challenges is how can we deal with the flood damage in time to prepare for a wildfire season?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Gusty winds could knock down more trees and power lines, and more showers could exacerbate current road flooding and ponding near buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The challenge is that there’s not enough time to actually do anything,” Hopkins said. “I think that we’re all going to be waiting on pins and needles to see if that damage spreads.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resources for Sonoma County evacuees and people who experienced flooding will be available at the West County Services Center, known to locals as the Bank of America building in downtown Guerneville, in the coming days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the storm clears later this week, Hopkins said the county will look at how to better prepare for future storms. Her office has been working on safety and evacuation procedures with parks, trying to secure contracts with towing companies ahead of time, and looking for ways to give people longer warning windows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Forestville Youth Park, where many evacuees fled Tuesday, quickly reached capacity, so the county also opened its Guerneville park-and-ride for trailers. Hopkins said during greater floods, though, that location would be underwater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We also have to be careful if suddenly flood estimates are jumping up by a number of feet, then we run the risk of putting people in a place that could actually flood as well,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mudslides, like a large one that damaged roads and carried an unoccupied home into the river in Forestville on Tuesday afternoon, are more challenging to prepare for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The reality is that we have a lot of homes that were built along old logging roads on extraordinarily steep slopes right next to the Russian River, which is one of the most powerful, sort of flashiest rivers,” Hopkins said. “When all of that water starts coming down, it can rise very, very quickly and have a tremendous amount of force. There’s not a whole lot that we can do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hopkins said efforts will also shift to assessing damage and beginning eexpensive repairs — like to a road that fell into the Russian River during Tuesday’s mudslide — that need to be done before fire season in the spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are critical evacuation routes during fire season and those kinds of projects — that kind of permitting — takes a really long time to actually get through,” she told KQED. “One of our biggest challenges is how can we deal with the flood damage in time to prepare for a wildfire season?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Backlash to Trump, particularly in Orange County, led to Democrats unseating many swing-district Republicans during his first term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while the caucus has grown, the politics have become more complex.
