The California justices said the 2002 law did not violate the state Constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Labor activists said the law is key to helping farmworkers improve working conditions by preventing employers from stalling contract talks with unions to avoid a deal. If there is an impasse, the mediator can impose a labor contract on the employer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents called the law government overreach that deprived agricultural employers and workers of any say over the terms of employment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Now, two years into the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/09/22/2-years-after-destructive-valley-fire-lake-county-rebuilds-and-readjusts/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recovery\u003c/a> process, 75-80 percent of the structures that burned have not been rebuilt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the fire, Spezza said, she and her husband were determined to rebuild. So, they started tackling the first step: detailing the home they’d lost for their insurance company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spezza flips through a navy-blue binder that includes about 100 pages of architectural drawings, photos of light fixtures and images of their custom cabinets, along with photos of their two young daughters playing in the garden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we did this very professionally with all the details they would possibly need,” she said. “We were totally honest. Like page after page after page.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Spezza said that by May 2016 — eight months after the fire — her insurance adjuster still hadn’t done an estimate on what it would cost to rebuild the home. Even more frustrating, Spezza said, was when her insurance agent would simply not respond to her emails for months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the California \u003ca href=\"https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/130-laws-regs-hearings/05-CCR/fair-claims-regs.cfm#communications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insurance code\u003c/a>, insurers must respond to consumer requests within 15 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wonder how much of it is just them wearing you down,” she said. ” ‘Cause it’s maddening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11633205\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11633205 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-800x600.jpeg\" alt=\"Carolynn Spezza and her two daughters Lucia and Viena sifting through the ashes of their home in Middletown. \" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-1180x885.jpeg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-960x720.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-240x180.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-375x281.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-520x390.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carolynn Spezza and her two daughters, Lucia (L) and Viena (R), sifting through the ashes of their home in Middletown. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Carolynn Spezza)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Corresponding with her insurer and filling out paperwork became all-consuming.

The announcement came in the wake of multiple reports that some insurers were giving policyholders bad information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendocino County resident Jon Kennedy did not lose his home in the wildfires, but a number of his friends did. Kennedy isn’t an insurance expert, but he is a public policy nerd and good at navigating complex legalese. So he reached out to his friends and asked if he could help by making insurance calls on their behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In all reality the insurance adjuster’s job is to, you know, not rip anyone off,” he said. “But to settle for as little as they possibly can, that’s the cynic in me and the mother bear in me to protect friends and family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The adjuster told Kennedy that the insurance company would pay for family living expenses only up until 30 days after a reasonable settlement, but California law says insurers have to pay this for two full years following a disaster. When Kennedy reminded him of this, the adjuster agreed to help the family out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.insurance.ca.gov/\">California Department of Insurance\u003c/a>, insurers also incorrectly told fire survivors they must rebuild in the same place to take advantage of the full amount of their policy and gave them unlawful deadlines to collect on their claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones said the problem may arise from out-of-state adjusters who are not familiar with California law, but he said it is vital that consumers get correct information so they can make decisions about how to rebuild.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If this persists we would encourage consumers to contact us,” he said. “We will be opening up formal complaints against the insurance companies. Ultimately, the insurance code provides for sanctions, including penalties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones said his objective is to make sure that this is being done right at the front end.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Now, two years into the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/09/22/2-years-after-destructive-valley-fire-lake-county-rebuilds-and-readjusts/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recovery\u003c/a> process, 75-80 percent of the structures that burned have not been rebuilt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the fire, Spezza said, she and her husband were determined to rebuild. So, they started tackling the first step: detailing the home they’d lost for their insurance company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spezza flips through a navy-blue binder that includes about 100 pages of architectural drawings, photos of light fixtures and images of their custom cabinets, along with photos of their two young daughters playing in the garden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So we did this very professionally with all the details they would possibly need,” she said. “We were totally honest. Like page after page after page.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Spezza said that by May 2016 — eight months after the fire — her insurance adjuster still hadn’t done an estimate on what it would cost to rebuild the home. Even more frustrating, Spezza said, was when her insurance agent would simply not respond to her emails for months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the California \u003ca href=\"https://www.insurance.ca.gov/01-consumers/130-laws-regs-hearings/05-CCR/fair-claims-regs.cfm#communications\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insurance code\u003c/a>, insurers must respond to consumer requests within 15 days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wonder how much of it is just them wearing you down,” she said. ” ‘Cause it’s maddening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11633205\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11633205 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-800x600.jpeg\" alt=\"Carolynn Spezza and her two daughters Lucia and Viena sifting through the ashes of their home in Middletown. \" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-800x600.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-160x120.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-1020x765.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-1180x885.jpeg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-960x720.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-240x180.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-375x281.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes-520x390.jpeg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/spezzaashes.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carolynn Spezza and her two daughters, Lucia (L) and Viena (R), sifting through the ashes of their home in Middletown. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Carolynn Spezza)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Corresponding with her insurer and filling out paperwork became all-consuming.

The issues that consumers have with insurers can have a big impact on survivors’ ability to rebuild and recover.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Insurers put on notice to obey the law\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>“We’re here to say this needs to stop,” Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones said at a press conference this week.

The announcement came in the wake of multiple reports that some insurers were giving policyholders bad information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mendocino County resident Jon Kennedy did not lose his home in the wildfires, but a number of his friends did. Kennedy isn’t an insurance expert, but he is a public policy nerd and good at navigating complex legalese. So he reached out to his friends and asked if he could help by making insurance calls on their behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In all reality the insurance adjuster’s job is to, you know, not rip anyone off,” he said. “But to settle for as little as they possibly can, that’s the cynic in me and the mother bear in me to protect friends and family.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The adjuster told Kennedy that the insurance company would pay for family living expenses only up until 30 days after a reasonable settlement, but California law says insurers have to pay this for two full years following a disaster. When Kennedy reminded him of this, the adjuster agreed to help the family out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.insurance.ca.gov/\">California Department of Insurance\u003c/a>, insurers also incorrectly told fire survivors they must rebuild in the same place to take advantage of the full amount of their policy and gave them unlawful deadlines to collect on their claims.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jones said the problem may arise from out-of-state adjusters who are not familiar with California law, but he said it is vital that consumers get correct information so they can make decisions about how to rebuild.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If this persists we would encourage consumers to contact us,” he said. “We will be opening up formal complaints against the insurance companies. Ultimately, the insurance code provides for sanctions, including penalties.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He said mudslides can happen even with less intense rainstorms, if they occur over a long period of time.

On Christmas Day that year, a storm led to \u003ca href=\"http://www.pe.com/2010/10/13/verdict-reached-in-2003-mudslide-deaths/\">a mudslide that killed 16 people at two campgrounds in San Bernardino County\u003c/a>. Rainfall in that storm was relatively moderate, about an inch of rain per hour, said Staley.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“That tragedy was a catalyst for the development of the tools and models that we use to predict debris flow hazards, as well as the post-fire debris flow early warning system,” he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://landslides.usgs.gov/hazards/warningsys.php\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">USGS partners with the National Weather Service in Los Angeles and San Diego counties to provide early warnings\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to officials in those regions for the potential of landslides based on the basin models and rain forecasts. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Sonoma County, officials have advised residents to consider purchasing flood insurance and warned that there is a higher potential for mudslides and landslides.\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2005/3106/pdf/FS-3106.pdf\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> According to a USGS report\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, debris flows could be triggered by heavy rainfall for up to two years after a fire.

It’s called hydroseeding and it’s meant to help plants regrow quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Although debris flows can happen on any slope that is made up of weak or broken materials, the\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2005/3106/pdf/FS-3106.pdf\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> U.S. Geological Survey reports\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> the areas most at risk are those with sedimentary or metamorphic rock underneath a top layer where at least 65 percent of the land has been moderately to highly burned. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">After the wildfires, the U.S. Geological Survey assessed the burned areas in the North Bay to produce\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://landslides.usgs.gov/hazards/postfire_debrisflow/index.php\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> maps that estimate the likelihood of a debris flow\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> based on the soil, basin and rainfall characteristics. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://landslides.usgs.gov/hazards/postfire_debrisflow/detail.php?objectid=163\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to the assessment map for the area burned by the Tubbs Fire\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, parts of the Riebli-Wallace neighborhood have a 20-60 percent likelihood of a debris flow after an intense rainstorm. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dennis Staley is a research geologist with the U.S. Geological Survey and helped produce the maps. He said mudslides can happen even with less intense rainstorms, if they occur over a long period of time. The landslides of the USGS models are based on very short duration with very high-intensity rainfalls, which produce debris flows that are like flash floods.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“They’re a lot more dangerous. They’re a lot more destructive,” Staley said. “Whereas the longer-duration storms may result in the shallow landslides that are a lot more of what people think of when they think of landslides and debris flows.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">He said the USGS did its first assessment after the October 2003 Grand Prix fire in the San Bernardino Mountains. On Christmas Day that year, a storm led to \u003ca href=\"http://www.pe.com/2010/10/13/verdict-reached-in-2003-mudslide-deaths/\">a mudslide that killed 16 people at two campgrounds in San Bernardino County\u003c/a>. Rainfall in that storm was relatively moderate, about an inch of rain per hour, said Staley.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“That tragedy was a catalyst for the development of the tools and models that we use to predict debris flow hazards, as well as the post-fire debris flow early warning system,” he said.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://landslides.usgs.gov/hazards/warningsys.php\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">USGS partners with the National Weather Service in Los Angeles and San Diego counties to provide early warnings\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to officials in those regions for the potential of landslides based on the basin models and rain forecasts. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In Sonoma County, officials have advised residents to consider purchasing flood insurance and warned that there is a higher potential for mudslides and landslides.\u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2005/3106/pdf/FS-3106.pdf\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> According to a USGS report\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, debris flows could be triggered by heavy rainfall for up to two years after a fire. First, though, residents have to get through this winter. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Since then, Sashimi has been a “survivor,” said Hessig. Whether it’s putting up with the energy of his 4-year-old twins or surviving the Valley Fire that burned down their home in Middletown two years ago, Sashimi has been through it all.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last month, Sashimi proved his survival skills once again.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the night of Oct. 8, Hessig saw Sashimi bouncing around outside his window.

Since then, Sashimi has been a “survivor,” said Hessig. Whether it’s putting up with the energy of his 4-year-old twins or surviving the Valley Fire that burned down their home in Middletown two years ago, Sashimi has been through it all.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Last month, Sashimi proved his survival skills once again.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the night of Oct. 8, Hessig saw Sashimi bouncing around outside his window.

Schulz, because of a fire on Mark West Springs Road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And I thought, ‘Well, Mark West Springs Road is a long way away,’ ” Schulz said in an interview last week at the Charles M. Schulz Museum in Santa Rosa. She pulled on sweatpants, a sweatshirt and tennis shoes and got ready to depart. She didn’t think she’d be gone for long.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I actually looked at my wedding rings and thought, ‘Oh, I’ll come back for them.’ I absolutely didn’t think anything was going to happen,” Schulz said.

She estimates the number of people coming into JobLink in search of work doubled from September to October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor says they went from their typical average of seeing about 20 people per day to about 90 people per day during the fires. “It was quite a spike,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most of those people were facing unemployment as a result of the wildfires, according to Taylor. She says since those first few weeks after the fires broke out, the number of people in need of help has declined slightly.

It was howling, making it hard to sleep with the noise of trees blowing and things banging into my house in northeast Santa Rosa. I would later learn that the record-setting winds that night were blowing at 50 mph, with gusts near 70 mph around my city. At the highest peaks north of town the sustained winds blew at a hurricane force of 84 mph, with gusts around 100 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At about 15 minutes before 10 p.m. that night, a fire started near Tubbs Lane outside the town of Calistoga, 12 miles northeast of Santa Rosa. The strong, dry winds blew the fires at us with shocking speed, and within four hours much of the city was on fire. Before the night ended at least 19 people had died and over 5,100 structures were reduced to ash. Over 3,000 homes were lost in the city of Santa Rosa alone in a matter of hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11632761\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1600px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11632761 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w.jpeg 1600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w-1020x680.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w-1180x786.jpeg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w-960x640.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w-240x160.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w-375x250.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w-520x346.jpeg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view of Coffey Park looking to the northeast, from where the fire came.

Listening to my officers’ radio traffic about the rescues they were carrying out across wide swaths of northern Santa Rosa had me convinced that hundreds of people, including some of our officers, would not survive the night. The fire was just coming too fast in the middle of the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My wife had evacuated our house as the fire approached from nearby Calistoga Road, and for the first time in my career I was working an incident in which my own home and family were threatened.

I believe it is because of these extraordinary efforts that so many were saved.

As they worked to evacuate residents, they found a woman, who lived in the 3900 block of St. Andrews Drive, trying to escape the firestorm. They told her to follow them out by driving her car between their patrol cars. The fire was blowing across the road in their path, however, and they had to turn around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The smoke was so thick that it was nearly impossible to see, and the woman ran into the curb on one side of the road and then the other. Officer Adams passed her and led the way out by driving with the reflective center-line markers between his tires. Even then, a burning tree had fallen across the road and almost prevented their escape. The two officers got the woman out of harm’s way, then went back into the fire to rescue more people.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">They got to the bottom of the hill and jumped out, quickly grabbing the computer, rifle and shotgun, before the car was completely engulfed in flames.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In the 3700 block of Skyfarm Drive, Officer Adams and Officer Dave Pedersen found several people at a house down a long driveway. The first man they encountered there said he couldn’t get out, so they told him to get in Officer Pedersen’s car. The man said his family was inside but they couldn’t get out because the power was out and the garage door wouldn’t open. Officer Adams ran into the house, popped the emergency release on the garage door and opened it so the family could escape in their own car. The officers continued their work and evacuated residents from the Hopper Lane Apartments and Coffey Park once the fire had jumped Highway 101.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one home on Keoke Court, Officer Adams, Officer St. Germain and others carried a number of wheelchair-bound elderly residents to their patrol cars as “fire whirls,” or tornados of burning embers, blew around them. Near the end of what would have been Officer Adams’ 12½-hour shift his radio battery died and he had to go back to the police department for a replacement, where he met up with Sgt. Pehlke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sgt. Steve Pehlke was not supposed to work that night, but came in at about 3 a.m. when he got the call about the firestorm. He met Officer Adams at the Police Department and, since patrol cars were getting scarce, they paired up to rescue more people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their first call together was to the Varenna Senior Living Apartments. As they drove up Fountaingrove Parkway, the fire had burned many of the buildings in the area and was burning within feet of the road. They had to dodge burning trees that had blown down in the heavy winds and blocked the road. When they got to Varenna they found a woman trying to evacuate her mother from a building that was already on fire. They found dozens of elderly residents in the lobby of the smoke-filled building and, along with other officers, checked the building for any other people. The heroic woman they had encountered loaded four or five of the residents into her car, while Sgt. Pehlke and Officer Adams were able to get more officers and city buses there to evacuate the rest of the residents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”mTpXqhGUCYU5o1DAJNOULmsjfL8STbdR”]After completing those rescues, they had to help rescue an elderly woman who was trapped in a motel room near the bottom of Fountaingrove Parkway, and then were sent back to Varenna and eventually to an address on Tall Pine Circle. A woman had called 911 to say she had evacuated her house there, but her husband was trapped inside and the house was on fire. Sgt. Pehlke and Officer Adams found the whole neighborhood engulfed in flames, with fire a mere 3 to 4 feet from their patrol car as they drove in. They got to the house in question, and although all the houses around it were burning, it had not yet caught fire. They found the elderly man in his bedroom and walked him to their patrol car as burning embers blew all around them. Sgt. Pehlke saw the man had no clothes, so he ran back into the house and grabbed some clothing as well as several pictures hanging on the walls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three fled the house, driving through the blowing embers and fire, to deliver the man safely to the Veterans Memorial Building shelter before they drove back into Fountaingrove to conduct more rescues. As they drove up the hill from Brush Creek Road, though, they smelled the odor of burning rubber and saw smoke pouring through the air vents on their dashboard. Sgt. Pehlke made a quick U-turn to get out of the fire zone and then saw flames licking up at his feet from the floor of the car. They got to the bottom of the hill and jumped out, quickly grabbing the computer, rifle and shotgun, before the car was completely engulfed in flames.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though their car burned, their work continued and they were back out in a different vehicle to continue the evacuations. Sgt. Pehlke snapped the photo shown at the top of this story about 30 seconds after he and Andy Adams got out of the burning car. This is the kind of extraordinary work that we saw over and over during the fires of October. We look forward to sharing more of these stories with you, and invite you to share your stories with us. As I said, people looking out for their friends, family and neighbors showed incredible selflessness and heroism. Their stories should be told as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For an idea of what people in the path of the fire faced that night, you can see this video released by the Berkeley Fire Department:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCNSDk7fyYE&t=2s\u003c/p>\n\n",

It is republished here with permission from police Capt. Craig Schwartz.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The evening of Sunday, Oct. 8, 2017, started off as a pretty normal night, with the exception of the wind. It was howling, making it hard to sleep with the noise of trees blowing and things banging into my house in northeast Santa Rosa. I would later learn that the record-setting winds that night were blowing at 50 mph, with gusts near 70 mph around my city. At the highest peaks north of town the sustained winds blew at a hurricane force of 84 mph, with gusts around 100 mph.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At about 15 minutes before 10 p.m. that night, a fire started near Tubbs Lane outside the town of Calistoga, 12 miles northeast of Santa Rosa. The strong, dry winds blew the fires at us with shocking speed, and within four hours much of the city was on fire. Before the night ended at least 19 people had died and over 5,100 structures were reduced to ash. Over 3,000 homes were lost in the city of Santa Rosa alone in a matter of hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11632761\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1600px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w.jpeg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11632761 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w.jpeg 1600w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w-160x107.jpeg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w-800x533.jpeg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w-1020x680.jpeg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w-1180x786.jpeg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w-960x640.jpeg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w-240x160.jpeg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w-375x250.jpeg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/1_HxT8w5SiQprTypX8gBHY_w-520x346.jpeg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A view of Coffey Park looking to the northeast, from where the fire came.

Tales of tragedy and heroism, lives lost and many more lives saved. I served as the Operations Section Chief in the city’s emergency operations center that night and in the days to come, and I can tell you that it was the most traumatic and terrifying night of my 25-year career, even though I was in no danger myself. Listening to my officers’ radio traffic about the rescues they were carrying out across wide swaths of northern Santa Rosa had me convinced that hundreds of people, including some of our officers, would not survive the night. The fire was just coming too fast in the middle of the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My wife had evacuated our house as the fire approached from nearby Calistoga Road, and for the first time in my career I was working an incident in which my own home and family were threatened.

As they worked to evacuate residents, they found a woman, who lived in the 3900 block of St. Andrews Drive, trying to escape the firestorm. They told her to follow them out by driving her car between their patrol cars. The fire was blowing across the road in their path, however, and they had to turn around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The smoke was so thick that it was nearly impossible to see, and the woman ran into the curb on one side of the road and then the other. Officer Adams passed her and led the way out by driving with the reflective center-line markers between his tires. Even then, a burning tree had fallen across the road and almost prevented their escape. The two officers got the woman out of harm’s way, then went back into the fire to rescue more people.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">They got to the bottom of the hill and jumped out, quickly grabbing the computer, rifle and shotgun, before the car was completely engulfed in flames.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>In the 3700 block of Skyfarm Drive, Officer Adams and Officer Dave Pedersen found several people at a house down a long driveway.

Crystal Espinoza is a secretary at the middle school in the Mendocino County community of Redwood Valley, and since the fire burned down her home, work has been a place of purpose and a refuge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now she’s living with seven other people in a one-bedroom apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s either you’re sleeping on the floor or a bed we’ve brought in,” she said. “The rest of them are just on couches.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s been six weeks since the Wine Country fires left thousands of people homeless. Some are still camped out in hotel rooms. Others, like Espinoza, have been bunking up with friends and extended family in tight quarters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re all crammed in there,” Espinoza said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2017/11/DemboskyFireRoommates.mp3\" Image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/Frey-Vineyard-e1510957848754.jpg\" Title=\"Three Generations Cram into Tight Quarters After Fires\" program=\"News Fix\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her parents’ home burned down, too. And when her dad’s boss offered them the one-bedroom for free, Espinoza, her fiance, her mom and dad, her two younger brothers, her sister and a family friend all moved in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall they’re just glad to have \u003cem>someplace\u003c/em> to stay, Espinoza said. But at times the stress can wear on the gratitude.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all get up at different times because we work at different hours, and it’s just a struggle not to wake up everybody,” she said. “How we’re going to manage with food, how we’re all going to get dressed, I mean, there’s only one bathroom down there. It’s a big, big struggle right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At one point, some plumbers in the fire zones were offering to unclog toilets for free. It hasn’t come to that yet for Espinoza’s family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very, very difficult,” she said, with a little laugh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one thing was easy. Deciding who in the family would get to sleep in the bedroom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They ended up just giving it to us, just because of the fact that I am pregnant,” she said, adding that she’s seven months along. “So they wanted me to be comfortable.”\u003cem> \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In urban Sonoma County, the sheer number of homes destroyed in the fire is staggering: 4,723. In rural Redwood Valley, it’s 314. But the \u003cem>percentage\u003c/em> of people who have been displaced here worries locals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That means a third of our little hamlet’s population here is suddenly homeless,” said Katrina Frey, co-founder of the family winery, Frey Vineyards, in Redwood Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She is concerned that if people can’t find more stable places to stay, they’ll move away.
