His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

However, by Thursday evening the number of homes destroyed increased to 67 in Sonoma and 153 in Napa Couty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A number of evacuation orders or warnings in and around Santa Rosa and unincorporated Sonoma County have been recently downgraded or lifted, with some neighborhoods starting to repopulate. But tens of thousands of residents in both counties \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU\">remain under existing orders\u003c/a> to leave their homes — including almost 13,000 in Santa Rosa alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My main message for you today is that more evacuations are possible,” Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick said at a Thursday afternoon briefing. He reminded residents to be prepared by signing up for emergency updates, keeping cellphones charged, having at least a half a tank of gas in the tank and packing a go-bag with valuables and medication. And if residents hear a hi-lo siren, he added, that means “it’s time to go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Napa County, the fire was “impinging” on the city of Calistoga and the hillside community of Argwin to the southeast, both of which remain under evacuation orders, said Cal Fire Operations Chief Mark Brunton. “It’s not into [Calistoga] city limits by any stretch at this point, but it is something we are closely watching, monitoring and taking action on,” he said at Thursday afternoon briefing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New evacuation orders were also issued Thursday for all areas north of Calistoga between Highway 128, the Sonoma County line and Highway 29.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Derek Webb, who owns Triple S Ranch in Calistoga, refused to leave despite the evacuation order.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think everybody has to judge their own risk. I’ve seen way too many fires where a homeowner has stayed behind and saved his entire property with a garden hose,” Webb said, noting that he had cleared brush to create a defensible space around his 20-acre property. “I’m not saying it’s for everyone,” he added. “For me, I will always be able to take that risk just because I have confidence in myself and what I’m doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire on Thursday was also pushing toward Oakville, a hamlet south of St. Helena, near the Robert Mondavi winery. It also remained very active farther north in the rural Palisades area near Mt. St. Helena, where firefighters have been stymied by steep terrain and heavy fuels, Cal Fire’s Brunton said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11840691\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map.png\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11840691\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-800x634.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"634\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-800x634.png 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1020x808.png 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-160x127.png 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1536x1217.png 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-2048x1623.png 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/Perimeter-Map-1920x1521.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Glass Fire perimeter as of Thursday morning, Oct. 1. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Cal Fire)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Fire crews were also closely watching the Highway 29 corridor on the valley floor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That is going to be a concern moving forward, because of the wine industry being what it is, and this time of year being critical for them,” Brunton said. “They are allowed to operate at this point in time to harvest their crops. … So we are going to be watching that closely.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Sonoma County’s Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, just across the county line, crews had made progress containing the blaze, but the flames still posed a “potential threat” to the nearby communities of Kenwood and Glen Ellen, located about halfway between between Santa Rosa and the town of Sonoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Highway 12 corridor heading into Santa Rosa — an area under serious threat earlier in the week — was “looking much better,” he added, as was the nearby area along Calistoga Road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dione Carston, a homeowner in the Deer Park neighborhood of St. Helena, evacuated the area with her husband early Sunday morning — the fourth time she’s had to flee her home in the last five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SherazSadiq1/status/1311410132438274048?s=20\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, she managed to sneak back onto her property to discover that the sprinkler her husband had hurriedly installed on the roof had saved the house and their two pet turkeys, even as the flames claimed the horse barn on their seven-acre property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need a reprieve, we need a break, it’s too much and I don’t dare ask, ‘What else?’, because I believe the universe will open and show you what else it can give you,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://sonomacounty.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=69a0e54e9e2b48c086d122027b21c961\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Burning between the scars of several recent blazes, the Glass Fire is devouring critically dry brush and grass that has not burned for at least 70 years, and has not been rained on for five months, making containment efforts all the more challenging, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 2,100 firefighters have been assigned to fight the blaze — in alternating 24-hour shifts — aided by a fleet of dozers, helicopters and air tankers, Cal Fire officials said.

Nearly 1,500 personnel are currently battling the blaze, including federal and state firefighters, as well as first responders from local departments throughout California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just want to let everyone know that every firefighter that could work, came to work and went to work and most of them are still out there supporting the incident,” said Santa Rosa Fire Chief Tony Gossner at a Tuesday morning press briefing. “It’s been a long two days for everyone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to be in this for a couple of weeks, is my take on this. Which means it’s going to be kinda long and it’s going to be painful for those that are dealing with it,” Gossner added, urging residents to “take a deep breath,” heed evacuation warnings and look out for their neighbors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU/status/1310801228293500928\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire crews on Tuesday continued to focus their efforts on protecting the densely populated neighborhoods in the east Santa Rosa area along the upper part of Calistoga Road and the Highway 12 corridor, said Cal Fire Battalion Chief Mark Brunton, noting “good success” establishing fire breaks and containing flames in nearby Trione-Annadel State Park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fire had receded considerably on the lower part of Calistoga Road, which he said was “looking pretty good.” By Tuesday afternoon, evacuation orders had been downgraded to warnings in \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU/status/1311063222842200064/photo/1\">a number of nearby Santa Rosa neighborhoods\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In eastern Sonoma County, the fire had reached Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, where crews were working to connect old control lines from the 2017 North Bay fires to block its spread, Brunton said. But ongoing smoky conditions, he added, were continuing to prevent aircraft from supporting suppression efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In rural Napa County, crews on Tuesday were still fighting to protect the community of Angwin, nestled in the steep hills above the Napa Valley, in what Brunton called a “run-and-gun battle” against the blaze as it continued spreading toward Pope Valley, east of Calistoga. All residents in and around the area \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CALFIRELNU/status/1310991669475516417\">were ordered that morning to evacuate\u003c/a>. Clearer air, however, was allowing aircraft to begin “aggressively” supporting ground crews there, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 68,000 people in Sonoma and Napa counties had already been evacuated from their homes as of Monday evening, Cal Fire said, with more evacuations likely in the coming days.

The blaze had burned about 2,500 acres by nightfall and was 0% contained. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just after sunset Sunday, with a gusty, bone-dry northeasterly wind blowing across the higher ridges in the area, a pair of fires ignited all the way across the valley to the west.
