It has been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My partner, Heather Leiker, and I had a 7:30 p.m. appointment on Oct. 8 in the labor and delivery unit at Kaiser Permanente Santa Rosa to do a non-stress test on her 40-week pregnancy. Due to circumstances, the doctor determined that it was best to induce labor. She received her first dose at 11 p.m. and was due for the second at 3 a.m. During the wait, we were brought to a delivery room and my mother brought her mother and our 3-year-old, Arthur, to visit. When my mother found out that the process could take up to three days, and it was already so late, she decided to take Arthur home. Shortly thereafter is when we found out that the pleasant campfire smell we had been enjoying was actually a wildfire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 2:45 a.m. the delivery team came into our room and told us that if we were mobile enough, then we should evacuate. The fire was coming our way, and the Hilton (hotel) was already on fire. If Heather started to feel like she was going into labor, then we were to head south to the nearest Kaiser with labor and delivery. As we exited the hospital, we were hearing a constant cacophony of explosions from the north. Boom. Boom. Boom. Almost one per second. Heather’s car is in the shop, so we were stuck using my compact truck. The three of us piled into my little truck and headed west to our place past Fulton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 5-mile journey took us two hours. At the corner of Range and Piner, we saw a truck on fire and a tree across the street in flames. As we went down Piner, we could see the bright glow against the smoky ceiling getting closer to our traffic pile up. Once we got past the railroad tracks, we turned down Bay Village Circle — my partner’s navigation skills still up to par. As we went down past the Marlow Apartments, the police came roaring up to the complex to start the mandatory evacuation. Surprisingly, we also saw a garbageman doing his rounds at the shopping center, seemingly unconcerned and just doing his duty. Once on Marlow, we headed south and managed to sweep into Crosspoint and connect to Guerneville. Finally, with some space to move, we headed home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once at home, we prepped for evacuation, loading my truck, consoling our son, and taking turns lying down next to him for short rests. We searched for the nearest Kaiser with a labor and delivery and discovered that we’d need to go to San Francisco. My mother would stay with Arthur and flit back and forth between her place (just outside the evacuation area), our place (2 miles from the evacuation area) and a friend’s place in Sebastopol. Once again, the three of us piled into my little truck and this time headed down to San Francisco. The 60-mile trip took just as much time as the previous 5-mile one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I finally fell unconscious for about four hours lying next to my partner sometime in the evening of Oct. 9, having been awake since 7 a.m. the morning before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The morning of Oct. 10 brought our little boy into the world. Amazingly, the easiest part of the whole ordeal was the actual delivery. At 10:02 a.m. we joked with the doctor that we figured he was waiting for 10:10 on 10/10. She took that as a challenge, and Heather started pushing. Four sets of three pushes showed the top of his head. We had time so Heather relaxed, but our newest addition didn’t. He finished the job himself, head and hand first as if he were swimming out. Heather said she could feel his feet pushing against her. Killian Crevan McDowell is a very healthy little boy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, then comes what to do now. We really couldn’t take him home with how bad the air quality is in Santa Rosa. The staff at Kaiser came up with a plan. We stayed the mandatory 24 hours, and they worked wonders. The staff actually found a hotel for us to stay at and paid for a three-day stay, so that Killian’s first few days wouldn’t be spent breathing smoke.

We were just in the process of settling her estate with my siblings — deciding who wanted what — but nothing had been moved yet.

A Pacific Gas and Electric Co. spokesman says the historic wind event that swept through the utility’s service area late Sunday night and early Monday packed hurricane strength winds. PG&E blames those winds, the drought and the winter storms for causing trees, branches and debris to impact the company’s electrical lines in the North Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Saturday night, more than 3,000 PG&E employees and mutual-aid partners were working on restoring electric and gas to the region, the utility said.

The utility had proactively turned off gas service to about 42,000 customers since fire response began on Monday, Oct. 9.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, state regulators ordered PG&E to preserve any evidence they discover related to the wildfires on Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A spokeswoman for the agency says that they will formally investigate PG&E if Cal Fire finds that the utilities’ power lines caused the fires. In the meantime agency staff are examining PG&E’s activities in the areas on fire, focusing on maintenance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under California law, utility companies are required to provide clearance between trees and their power lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year the state fined PG&E $90 million after determining that the company’s power lines caused a catastrophic Butte Fire that killed two people in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may take awhile for Cal Fire to determine the fires’ cause though.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The devastation is enormous,” Giordano said. “We can’t even get into most of the areas.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Communications in the region have been difficult since the fires broke out last weekend, with many losing their power and struggling to find reliable cell coverage.

"content": "\u003cp>Genene Marinello sits on Sixth Street in downtown Santa Rosa with a blanket over her legs. The city around her is covered with smoke from the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/10/11/at-least-21-dead-3500-structures-destroyed-in-northern-california-fires/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">North Bay fires\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel for the people who have lost their homes and lost everything. I know what it’s like,” Marinello said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marinello lives in one of the city’s most visible homeless encampments underneath Highway 101. A cigarette, lighter and radio sit on her lap. The radio was donated to her with fresh batteries so she could monitor fire updates. People have been stepping up to help those living in the encampment — more than usual, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of police and firefighters have stopped and have given us food, clothing, blankets, water,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Rosa’s homeless outreach provider — Catholic Charities — has been short-staffed and without power at some of its buildings, officials say. The organization is also trying to serve an increasing number of people who are displaced because of the North Bay fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sixth Street encampment is as full as it was before the fire. Tents line both sidewalks underneath the highway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A woman named Jessica who lives at the encampment agrees that the sense of community since the fire began has been remarkable. But it’s also been necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The majority of people here don’t have anywhere else to go. There has been no talk that I’ve heard of anybody leaving anytime soon,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica is surprised other homeless people haven’t showed up to this Sixth Street encampment from places that have been impacted by the fire. She expected a wave of people to come, but that hasn’t happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It seems like they are very geographically partial to their locations,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sixth Street encampment is conveniently located near Catholic Charities. Jennielynn Holmes, director of shelter and housing, has spent these first days of the fire trying to triage the disaster. Catholic Charities has taken in more than the 500 people they serve on a normal day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We fit beds everywhere we are right now. Our dining room is full of beds. We added additional cots at one of our other shelters,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There has also been a fair amount of outreach to help homeless people who aren’t coming into shelters or evacuation centers or who don’t have any option but the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holmes said they’ve tried to educate people — like Marinello, who has bronchial asthma — on how to use masks to protect themselves from the smoke. But many people at the encampment aren’t wearing the masks that have been handed out. Holmes said Catholic Charities has had to transport some people to the hospital because of respiratory issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a ton of immediate concerns to help homeless people right now. But Holmes is also concerned about the long-term impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the foreclosure crisis, former homeowners entered the rental market, pushing lower-income people into homelessness. Holmes is afraid the fires — which have already destroyed thousands of homes in Santa Rosa — will have the same impact, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s going to be this next wave of people who are displaced. Then in six to 12 months, there will be another wave of people who are pushed out of the rental market and into homelessness,” Holmes said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But right now Holmes says the focus is serving the increasing number of people needing help now.\u003c/p>\n\n",

I know what it’s like,” Marinello said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marinello lives in one of the city’s most visible homeless encampments underneath Highway 101. A cigarette, lighter and radio sit on her lap. The radio was donated to her with fresh batteries so she could monitor fire updates. People have been stepping up to help those living in the encampment — more than usual, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A lot of police and firefighters have stopped and have given us food, clothing, blankets, water,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Rosa’s homeless outreach provider — Catholic Charities — has been short-staffed and without power at some of its buildings, officials say. The organization is also trying to serve an increasing number of people who are displaced because of the North Bay fires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Tents line both sidewalks underneath the highway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A woman named Jessica who lives at the encampment agrees that the sense of community since the fire began has been remarkable. But it’s also been necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The majority of people here don’t have anywhere else to go. There has been no talk that I’ve heard of anybody leaving anytime soon,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jessica is surprised other homeless people haven’t showed up to this Sixth Street encampment from places that have been impacted by the fire. She expected a wave of people to come, but that hasn’t happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It seems like they are very geographically partial to their locations,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sixth Street encampment is conveniently located near Catholic Charities. Jennielynn Holmes, director of shelter and housing, has spent these first days of the fire trying to triage the disaster. Catholic Charities has taken in more than the 500 people they serve on a normal day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We fit beds everywhere we are right now. Our dining room is full of beds. We added additional cots at one of our other shelters,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There has also been a fair amount of outreach to help homeless people who aren’t coming into shelters or evacuation centers or who don’t have any option but the streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holmes said they’ve tried to educate people — like Marinello, who has bronchial asthma — on how to use masks to protect themselves from the smoke. But many people at the encampment aren’t wearing the masks that have been handed out. Holmes said Catholic Charities has had to transport some people to the hospital because of respiratory issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are a ton of immediate concerns to help homeless people right now. But Holmes is also concerned about the long-term impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the foreclosure crisis, former homeowners entered the rental market, pushing lower-income people into homelessness. Holmes is afraid the fires — which have already destroyed thousands of homes in Santa Rosa — will have the same impact, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s going to be this next wave of people who are displaced. Then in six to 12 months, there will be another wave of people who are pushed out of the rental market and into homelessness,” Holmes said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But right now Holmes says the focus is serving the increasing number of people needing help now.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

We’re looking at $1.2 billion in damage in Santa Rosa alone. It’s a huge hill we’ve got to climb.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire incident commander Bret Gouvea said Friday that efforts are underway to repopulate certain areas that have been evacuated within the next day or two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 9,000 firefighters are battling 17 large fires that have burned more than 221,000 acres (345 square miles), according to Cal Fire. The agency said 840 engines, 116 dozers and 211 hand crews have been deployed against the blazes.
