He’s one of nearly 200 people living in a sprawling camp here that has sprung up along a popular recreation corridor. It’s a community, Gibson says, that often feels caught between opposing forces who aren’t always listening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, they [local officials] want us to be able to govern ourselves, but they are not giving us the tools we need,” Gibson says. “They don’t want you hiding, but they don’t want you in their face, you know?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Sonoma County Supervisor Lynda Hopkins\"]‘I never thought that I would drive past a mile-long shantytown on my way to work.

The encampments are frustrating residents, raising health and safety fears and fueling a debate over poverty and inequality in one of the nation’s wealthiest states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fight over the encampment in Sonoma County’s Santa Rosa underscores the challenges of finding a lasting solution to the growing crisis. Amid a growing chorus of outrage at filthy, unsanitary conditions and the presence of rats and used drug needles, the camp has divided locals and even prompted an effort to recall a local politician.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I never thought that I would drive past a mile-long shantytown on my way to work.

Now, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors is considering purchasing three homes to house some of the people who live on the trail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s incredibly challenging,” Hopkins said, noting she gets scores of emails each day from frustrated, alarmed and angry constituents. “I also get emails of people who are just heartbroken at seeing the level of suffering — people freezing cold, living in a tent in the rain with no access to running water or electricity or sewer services.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11794599 label='expanded statewide efforts' hero=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/newsom-1020x681.jpg\"]\u003cbr>\nWhile homelessness is a hard-to-fix national problem, it is particularly severe in California.

It would equip people with “fundamental human needs,” such as restrooms, electricity, water and, ideally, shower and laundry facilities, Hopkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you talk about the encampment along the Joe Rodota Trail, it is actually very difficult to service because it’s actually spread out over about a mile and a half of linear trail,” Hopkins said. “So it’s tough for service workers to actually go out there … and actually provide people with a plan to get them off the trail and into housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Public Backlash in Sonoma County\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“It just showcases the failure of government at all levels to meaningfully have a safety net for human beings,” Hopkins said. “There’s just no room for error now, there’s no safety net.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, Sonoma County’s chief homelessness official, Geoffrey Ross, announced his resignation. The Board of Supervisors will vote Tuesday to confirm Barbie Robinson, the county health services director, as interim executive director of the Community Development Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson has drawn praise from supervisors, including Hopkins, for stepping into a leadership position and working alongside Ross to craft a plan to allocate \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11792903/sonoma-county-approves-12-million-urgent-plan-for-homeless\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$12 million in emergency funds\u003c/a> for the encampment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hopkins has also helped lead efforts to find solutions for the camp, including working on the emergency funding plan and setting up an emergency \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/society/sonoma-co-opens-eoc-for-first-time-in-response-to-homeless-crisis/5823059/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">operations center\u003c/a> to better coordinate responses to a complex problem with no easy fixes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the first-term politician is facing blowback over the camp.

Their petition accuses Hopkins of failing to act — “her watch, her failure” — and calls the homeless encampment a “public cesspool” that’s undermining businesses, homes and quality of life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem cuts across complex issues, including rising housing costs and skyrocketing rents, stagnant wages, poverty, addiction and mental health treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Complicating attempts to find a solution in Sonoma is \u003ca href=\"https://sonomacounty.ca.gov/CAO/Agreement-with-Homeless-Advocates-on-Preliminary-Injunction/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a local injunction\u003c/a> that says the county can’t arrest or fine its way out of the crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/13/787861253/how-boises-fight-over-homelessness-is-rippling-across-the-west-coast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A federal court ruling\u003c/a> carries even more weight. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that homeless people essentially have a Constitutional right to camp on public property if local governments can’t provide enough shelter beds and services.

We’ve just seen it recently with the Kincade Fire,” said artist and engineer Marcos Ramirez, one of the founders of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/SWBCSonoma/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Squeaky Wheel Bicycle Coalition.\u003c/a> The volunteer group is trying to break the familiar pattern of political outrage, hand wringing, wrangling and inaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we can organize shelter support, huge amounts of response, emergency services and these kinds of things,” Ramirez said of the wildfires where thousands were temporarily displaced, “there’s no reason why we can’t do this for our unhoused neighbors. It’s the middle of winter and things are only getting colder. There’s no excuse for this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The size of the trail encampment decreased during the Kincade Fire, Hopkins told Forum, but residents of the trail returned once the fire was out and temporary shelters closed. The camp has continued to grow since.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"forum_2010101875281,news_11792903,news_11679471\" label=\"Related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The coalition has drawn up a detailed proposal to retrofit an unused section of Sonoma County’s fairgrounds into a more permanent camp with onsite support, counseling and job services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One key, coalition members said, has been spending time at the encampment to better understand the community living there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A friend of mind said, ‘You don’t know what’s going on down there.’ And I said, ‘You’re right,’ ” Ramirez said. “And so I went down. And so we’ve spent months down there on the trail and actually getting to know our neighbors. It should seem like a no-brainer that you would need to go talk to the people and ask them what they would like.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These concerned bicyclists for social change hope their ideas gain more traction. And they hope to inspire the formation of more “squeaky wheel coalitions” in cities across California — and other states — facing the same kind of homeless camp crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t like to use the term that we are trying to humanize these people because they’re people and we shouldn’t have to humanize them,” said another Squeaky Wheel activist, Miles Sarvis-Wilburn. “And yet, we’re in a position where that kind of feels like what we have to do now.

What’s happening right now on the Joe Rodota Trail, we know is completely unacceptable,” Hopkins told Forum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Additionally, Hopkins is exploring an outdoor shelter option that would still allow people to camp, but would provide a navigation trailer with supportive services. It would equip people with “fundamental human needs,” such as restrooms, electricity, water and, ideally, shower and laundry facilities, Hopkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you talk about the encampment along the Joe Rodota Trail, it is actually very difficult to service because it’s actually spread out over about a mile and a half of linear trail,” Hopkins said. “So it’s tough for service workers to actually go out there … and actually provide people with a plan to get them off the trail and into housing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Public Backlash in Sonoma County\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>“It just showcases the failure of government at all levels to meaningfully have a safety net for human beings,” Hopkins said. “There’s just no room for error now, there’s no safety net.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, Sonoma County’s chief homelessness official, Geoffrey Ross, announced his resignation. The Board of Supervisors will vote Tuesday to confirm Barbie Robinson, the county health services director, as interim executive director of the Community Development Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robinson has drawn praise from supervisors, including Hopkins, for stepping into a leadership position and working alongside Ross to craft a plan to allocate \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11792903/sonoma-county-approves-12-million-urgent-plan-for-homeless\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$12 million in emergency funds\u003c/a> for the encampment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hopkins has also helped lead efforts to find solutions for the camp, including working on the emergency funding plan and setting up an emergency \u003ca href=\"https://abc7news.com/society/sonoma-co-opens-eoc-for-first-time-in-response-to-homeless-crisis/5823059/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">operations center\u003c/a> to better coordinate responses to a complex problem with no easy fixes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the first-term politician is facing blowback over the camp.

Their petition accuses Hopkins of failing to act — “her watch, her failure” — and calls the homeless encampment a “public cesspool” that’s undermining businesses, homes and quality of life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem cuts across complex issues, including rising housing costs and skyrocketing rents, stagnant wages, poverty, addiction and mental health treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Complicating attempts to find a solution in Sonoma is \u003ca href=\"https://sonomacounty.ca.gov/CAO/Agreement-with-Homeless-Advocates-on-Preliminary-Injunction/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a local injunction\u003c/a> that says the county can’t arrest or fine its way out of the crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/12/13/787861253/how-boises-fight-over-homelessness-is-rippling-across-the-west-coast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A federal court ruling\u003c/a> carries even more weight. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that homeless people essentially have a Constitutional right to camp on public property if local governments can’t provide enough shelter beds and services. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal in that case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There’s no excuse for this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The size of the trail encampment decreased during the Kincade Fire, Hopkins told Forum, but residents of the trail returned once the fire was out and temporary shelters closed.

Essick said in his Friday account of the incident that Santa Rosa police had alerted his office that the car had been located \"and was on the move.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essick said that although Ward had initially pulled over when deputies tried to stop him, he drove away, prompting the pursuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What our deputies did not know at the time was that Mr. Ward was not only the owner of the car, but the victim of the earlier carjacking,\" Essick said. \"The suspect had pistol-whipped him and stole his car. Mr. Ward had recovered the car, but failed to report it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It remains a mystery\" why Ward fled instead of stopping and cooperating with deputies, Essick said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the chase, on a dead-end street in the community of Bloomfield, the video shows deputies confronting Ward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the video, Ward is initially slow in responding to orders to keep his hands in view and has difficulty unlocking the car. He then rolls down the driver's side window and says, \"I can't believe this. I'm the injured party here. ... Why are you f___ing harassing me all the time?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point, Blount moves to forcibly remove Ward from his vehicle through the open window. \"Give me your hands. Give me your f___ing hands. ... Get the f___ out of the car!\" Blount says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Blount tries to drag Ward out of the car, Ward's legs are caught under his steering wheel. He cries out in pain, and both Blount and Little curse, saying Ward has bitten them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the struggle continues, Blount grabs Ward by the hair and forces his head against the forward frame of the car door as Ward moans. Seconds later, he pulls Ward's head back and forcefully slams it against the doorframe. At nearly the same moment, Little shocks Ward with a Taser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly afterwards, the deputies, assisted by a pair of Sebastopol police officers, manage to remove Ward from the car through the front passenger door. As other deputies arrive, one observes that Ward, who had been placed on the ground and handcuffed, is unconscious, prompting a call to paramedics to respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11789667\" hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/12/RS20565_alt_948-1020x672.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of those arriving on the scene was Deputy Nick Jax, who had spoken to Ward about his stolen car just hours before the chase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is the owner of the car,\" Jax says. \"That's David Ward. He's the victim of the 215 (carjacking).\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Then why did he run?\" Little asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know why he ran,\" Jax responds. \"He had no reason to run. I was out with him like two hours ago at his house.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After hearing Jax's account, Blount says, in a nonchalant tone, \"Oh well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immediately after that exchange, officers say Ward is no longer breathing, and a deputy starts CPR. Paramedics transported Ward to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The cause of his death is still under investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essick told KQED he found Blount's \"oh well\" retort — made while the unconscious Ward lay nearby — \"very troubling. ... That does not reflect the values of me as the sheriff of this county, and it does not reflect the values of the 650 other employees that work here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Blount's actions on the video \"really warranted a look right away\" and that the deputy's behavior raised a host of questions about his response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think some people will look at that to say, wait a second, the guy’s engaging you in conversation, he’s attempting to explain the situation,\" Essick said. \"Why didn’t Deputy Blount take that as an indicator to ask more questions? To say, 'Hey, wait a minute, why are you saying you’re the injured party? Whose car is this? Who are you, why are you driving this car?' But none of those questions were asked. Instead of de-escalating the situation, Deputy Blount made a choice to escalate the situation, which resulted in what we have here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essick said his agency's investigation found Blount had violated several department policies, including rules governing use of force, high-risk stops and use of firearms, and was guilty of conduct that brought discredit to the sheriff's office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonoma County-based civil rights attorney Izaak Schwaiger is representing Ward's mother, who he says intends to file a lawsuit against Sonoma County and Blount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"David's mother is hurting, and she wants justice for her son,\" Schwaiger said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He called the video \"frightening\" and said that he was \"somewhat encouraged\" by Essick's move to fire Blount. But Schwaiger added that Sonoma County law enforcement officials, including District Attorney Jill Ravitch, should have taken action against Blount years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schwaiger represented a woman whom Blount arrested in Jan. 2015 for jaywalking and resisting arrest. \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/FB3XTRP1kOs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">A video\u003c/a> of that encounter shows Blount grabbing the woman around the neck and throwing her to the ground.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The attorney said Ravitch should have taken action against Blount after Blount appeared to give false testimony by denying he had seized the woman by the neck. The judge in the case directed prosecutors to place Blount’s testimony in the district attorney’s files documenting officers with credibility issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Jill Ravitch gave him a pass, despite video evidence and a court order regarding his perjurous testimony,” Schwaiger said. \"It was basically her [Ravitch's] exoneration of this very same deputy five years ago that kept him on the force and led to this man’s death today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DA's office declined to comment on whether the video appears to show a crime committed by a sheriff's deputy. It is awaiting a complete criminal investigation by the Santa Rosa Police Department, which is ongoing, the office said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The office has declined to say whether Blount ever ended up on the DA's Brady List — a record of officers who have committed misconduct. A spokeswoman said such a record of misconduct, however, \"would not prevent an officer from being on duty.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Sukey Lewis of KQED News contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

But the sheriff's office is not releasing documents on Blount's firing at this time, Essick said, citing several ongoing investigations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/az807R-35Vg\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 12-minute video, recorded on a body camera worn by Deputy Jason Little, depicts a chase reaching speeds of more than 70 mph that began just before 6 a.m. on the day before Thanksgiving in rural western Sonoma County.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Little was pursuing the vehicle, driven by Ward, because it had been reported stolen in a carjacking several days earlier. Essick said in his Friday account of the incident that Santa Rosa police had alerted his office that the car had been located \"and was on the move.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essick said that although Ward had initially pulled over when deputies tried to stop him, he drove away, prompting the pursuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What our deputies did not know at the time was that Mr. Ward was not only the owner of the car, but the victim of the earlier carjacking,\" Essick said. \"The suspect had pistol-whipped him and stole his car. Mr. Ward had recovered the car, but failed to report it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It remains a mystery\" why Ward fled instead of stopping and cooperating with deputies, Essick said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the chase, on a dead-end street in the community of Bloomfield, the video shows deputies confronting Ward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the video, Ward is initially slow in responding to orders to keep his hands in view and has difficulty unlocking the car. He then rolls down the driver's side window and says, \"I can't believe this. I'm the injured party here. ... Why are you f___ing harassing me all the time?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point, Blount moves to forcibly remove Ward from his vehicle through the open window. \"Give me your hands. Give me your f___ing hands. ... Get the f___ out of the car!\" Blount says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as Blount tries to drag Ward out of the car, Ward's legs are caught under his steering wheel. He cries out in pain, and both Blount and Little curse, saying Ward has bitten them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the struggle continues, Blount grabs Ward by the hair and forces his head against the forward frame of the car door as Ward moans. Seconds later, he pulls Ward's head back and forcefully slams it against the doorframe. At nearly the same moment, Little shocks Ward with a Taser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly afterwards, the deputies, assisted by a pair of Sebastopol police officers, manage to remove Ward from the car through the front passenger door. As other deputies arrive, one observes that Ward, who had been placed on the ground and handcuffed, is unconscious, prompting a call to paramedics to respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He's the victim of the 215 (carjacking).\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Then why did he run?\" Little asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I don't know why he ran,\" Jax responds. \"He had no reason to run. I was out with him like two hours ago at his house.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After hearing Jax's account, Blount says, in a nonchalant tone, \"Oh well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immediately after that exchange, officers say Ward is no longer breathing, and a deputy starts CPR. Paramedics transported Ward to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The cause of his death is still under investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essick told KQED he found Blount's \"oh well\" retort — made while the unconscious Ward lay nearby — \"very troubling. ... That does not reflect the values of me as the sheriff of this county, and it does not reflect the values of the 650 other employees that work here.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said Blount's actions on the video \"really warranted a look right away\" and that the deputy's behavior raised a host of questions about his response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think some people will look at that to say, wait a second, the guy’s engaging you in conversation, he’s attempting to explain the situation,\" Essick said. \"Why didn’t Deputy Blount take that as an indicator to ask more questions? To say, 'Hey, wait a minute, why are you saying you’re the injured party? Whose car is this? Who are you, why are you driving this car?' But none of those questions were asked. Instead of de-escalating the situation, Deputy Blount made a choice to escalate the situation, which resulted in what we have here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Essick said his agency's investigation found Blount had violated several department policies, including rules governing use of force, high-risk stops and use of firearms, and was guilty of conduct that brought discredit to the sheriff's office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonoma County-based civil rights attorney Izaak Schwaiger is representing Ward's mother, who he says intends to file a lawsuit against Sonoma County and Blount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"David's mother is hurting, and she wants justice for her son,\" Schwaiger said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He called the video \"frightening\" and said that he was \"somewhat encouraged\" by Essick's move to fire Blount. But Schwaiger added that Sonoma County law enforcement officials, including District Attorney Jill Ravitch, should have taken action against Blount years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But, he said, \"it's going to be a slow, gradual education.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Visitor numbers had just started recovering from a similar drop-off following the 2017 fires, said Sonoma County Tourism president Clauda Vecchio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the tourism bureau now plans to promote wine country as a spring destination rather than fall, and is devoting the bulk of its $750,000 advertising budget to that end. That means convincing visitors to come celebrate \"bud break,\" when green shoots make the vineyards colorful, rather than the harvest itself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to boost tourism numbers to a level she'd like, Vecchio says she would really need roughly ten times the budget. The good news, Diffenbaugh said, is that people have a long history of figuring out how to thrive in all kinds of environments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Humans are really good at dealing with a variety of different conditions,\" he said. \"What climate change is doing is changing which conditions occur where.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

On Monday, they performed further structure defense in the evacuated towns of Healdsburg and Windsor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire allowed residents to repopulate areas west of East Side Road throughout Russian River Valley and Bodega Bay, as well as areas south of Occidental Road on Monday evening. However, evacuation warnings for these areas remain in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The respite from hostile winds will be brief, with another episode of gusty weather likely to begin after sunrise Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re playing both offensive and defensive right now on two different sides of the fire, and we’re going to have to flip flop that tomorrow when that wind event comes through,” said Cal Fire division chief Jonathan Cox during a \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CALFIRE/videos/984025265283631/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media briefing\u003c/a> Monday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That next windstorm has prompted PG&E to warn customers that it will once again cut power to an as yet unannounced number of customers in as many as 32 counties. It will be the utility’s third voluntary blackout in a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sonoma County conflagration, dubbed the Kincade Fire, broke out last Wednesday night in The Geysers area and quickly threatened Geyserville, Healdsburg and Windsor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire said that by late Monday, the blaze had burned 74,324 acres. The fire has destroyed 123 buildings, including at least 57 homes, and is threatening nearly 90,000 more structures, according to Cal Fire. More that 4,100 personnel are working the blaze. Two firefighters have been injured, with one being airlifted to UC Davis for burns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>National Weather Service meteorologist Ryan Walbrun said Monday the wind that pushed the fire hard over the weekend is slowing but that will change soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to give us a good window of opportunity with some quieter weather this afternoon, overnight tonight and into Tuesday morning,” Walbrun said. “So we hope the firefighters can take advantage of those calmer weather conditions. What we’re starting to get ready for though is another red flag event. Right now it looks like that’s going to start some time Tuesday morning and push us into Wednesday morning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire fire behavior analyst Steve Volmer said Monday the change in weather should reduce the fire intensity, but there were still “a lot of problems with the fire-weakened timber in the area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s coming down across the roads, causing us issues getting to and from the area, as well as causing a lot of spot fires to roll out down those steep drainages in the northern portion of the incident,” Volmer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday, Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick also advised individuals to heed evacuation orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You cannot win,” Essick said Sunday. “When this fire decides to make a run and the winds are pushing it, you can’t win and you’re really putting yourself at risk, and you’re putting those firefighters who are going to have to come in and rescue you at risk as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to Geyserville, Healdsburg and Windsor, portions of northern Santa Rosa and most of Sonoma County west of U.S. 101 to the coast are also under evacuation orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evacuation warnings have been placed on the following: the city of Calistoga, Napa County north of Diamond Mountain Road to Dunaweal Lane; east of the Sonoma County/Napa County Line; south of the Lake County/Napa County line; parts of Lake County; areas west of Healdsburg and Windsor and south of Occidental Road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jonathan Cox, a division chief with Cal Fire, warned everyone in the region to be prepared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We ask that everybody who is outside of an evacuation zone have a plan,” Cox said Sunday. “This fire could change direction and activity at any moment and that could result in additional evacuations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire conditions statewide have made California a “tinderbox,” Cox said. Of the state’s 58 counties, 43 were under warnings for high fire danger Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sonoma County Office of Education announced all school districts in the county would shut down schools Monday and Tuesday, and would asses on a day-to-day basis when those schools would reopen. Schools were also closed in Marin County, which was almost 100% blacked out in the PG&E outage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='science_1950014' label='Bay Area Air Quality']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom on Sunday declared a statewide \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2019/10/27/governor-newsom-declares-statewide-emergency-due-to-fires-extreme-weather-conditions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">emergency\u003c/a> “due to the effects of unprecedented high-wind events, which have resulted in fires and evacuations across the state.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has launched a series of critiques against PG&E in recent weeks. In an interview with KQED News on Sunday, he challenged a recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11781060/pge-power-safety-shutoffs-could-continue-for-10-years-says-ceo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">assertion by PG&E executives\u003c/a> that the company may need to impose widespread preemptive power outages for as long as the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This does not have to be the new normal,” Newsom said. “Those saying this will take 10 years to fix are telling you something that factually cannot be true. We will hit the ground running as soon as we deal with the Kincade Fire and deal with these flareups.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At an evacuation center at Napa Valley College, Francisco Alvarado, 15, said he, two younger brothers and his parents decided to leave their Calistoga home in advance of evacuation orders. Two years ago, the family had to flee the deadly Tubbs Fire – in the middle of the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m pretty mad that we have to keep evacuating,” he said. “I just want to be home. I’m trying to leave here tomorrow; I want to sleep in my bed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hundreds of people arrived at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa by Sunday. Some came from nursing homes. More than 300 people slept in an auditorium filled with cots and wheeled beds. Scores of others stayed in a separate building with their pets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/StarkKev/status/1188897651036545025\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among them was Maribel Cruz, 19, who packed up her dog, four cats and fish as soon as she was told to flee her trailer in the town of Windsor, about 60 miles north of San Francisco. She also grabbed a neighbor’s cat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m just nervous since I grew up in Windsor,” she said. “I’m hoping the wind cooperates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A historic attraction outside Healdsburg was lost Sunday when wind-blown embers sparked a blaze that engulfed the Soda Rock Winery. The buildings included a general store and post office founded in 1869.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elsewhere in the Bay Area on Sunday, firefighters rushed to contain a series of fires in Vallejo, Crockett, Martinez, Bethel Island, Clayton, Lafayette and on the outskirts of Orinda. Each other those fires briefly threatened residential areas and prompted evacuations, but each was stopped with little or no damage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also in Martinez Sunday, the relentlessly gusty winds knocked over a 30-foot tree at a farmers market, injuring nine people, including a toddler.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Don Clyde, Ted Goldberg and Jeremy Siegel contributed to this post.

On Monday, they performed further structure defense in the evacuated towns of Healdsburg and Windsor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire allowed residents to repopulate areas west of East Side Road throughout Russian River Valley and Bodega Bay, as well as areas south of Occidental Road on Monday evening. However, evacuation warnings for these areas remain in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The respite from hostile winds will be brief, with another episode of gusty weather likely to begin after sunrise Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re playing both offensive and defensive right now on two different sides of the fire, and we’re going to have to flip flop that tomorrow when that wind event comes through,” said Cal Fire division chief Jonathan Cox during a \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/CALFIRE/videos/984025265283631/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">media briefing\u003c/a> Monday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That next windstorm has prompted PG&E to warn customers that it will once again cut power to an as yet unannounced number of customers in as many as 32 counties. It will be the utility’s third voluntary blackout in a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sonoma County conflagration, dubbed the Kincade Fire, broke out last Wednesday night in The Geysers area and quickly threatened Geyserville, Healdsburg and Windsor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire said that by late Monday, the blaze had burned 74,324 acres. The fire has destroyed 123 buildings, including at least 57 homes, and is threatening nearly 90,000 more structures, according to Cal Fire. More that 4,100 personnel are working the blaze. Two firefighters have been injured, with one being airlifted to UC Davis for burns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>National Weather Service meteorologist Ryan Walbrun said Monday the wind that pushed the fire hard over the weekend is slowing but that will change soon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to give us a good window of opportunity with some quieter weather this afternoon, overnight tonight and into Tuesday morning,” Walbrun said. “So we hope the firefighters can take advantage of those calmer weather conditions. What we’re starting to get ready for though is another red flag event. Right now it looks like that’s going to start some time Tuesday morning and push us into Wednesday morning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Fire fire behavior analyst Steve Volmer said Monday the change in weather should reduce the fire intensity, but there were still “a lot of problems with the fire-weakened timber in the area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s coming down across the roads, causing us issues getting to and from the area, as well as causing a lot of spot fires to roll out down those steep drainages in the northern portion of the incident,” Volmer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Sunday, Sonoma County Sheriff Mark Essick also advised individuals to heed evacuation orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You cannot win,” Essick said Sunday. “When this fire decides to make a run and the winds are pushing it, you can’t win and you’re really putting yourself at risk, and you’re putting those firefighters who are going to have to come in and rescue you at risk as well.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to Geyserville, Healdsburg and Windsor, portions of northern Santa Rosa and most of Sonoma County west of U.S. 101 to the coast are also under evacuation orders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Evacuation warnings have been placed on the following: the city of Calistoga, Napa County north of Diamond Mountain Road to Dunaweal Lane; east of the Sonoma County/Napa County Line; south of the Lake County/Napa County line; parts of Lake County; areas west of Healdsburg and Windsor and south of Occidental Road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jonathan Cox, a division chief with Cal Fire, warned everyone in the region to be prepared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We ask that everybody who is outside of an evacuation zone have a plan,” Cox said Sunday. “This fire could change direction and activity at any moment and that could result in additional evacuations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fire conditions statewide have made California a “tinderbox,” Cox said. Of the state’s 58 counties, 43 were under warnings for high fire danger Sunday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sonoma County Office of Education announced all school districts in the county would shut down schools Monday and Tuesday, and would asses on a day-to-day basis when those schools would reopen. Schools were also closed in Marin County, which was almost 100% blacked out in the PG&E outage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In an interview with KQED News on Sunday, he challenged a recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11781060/pge-power-safety-shutoffs-could-continue-for-10-years-says-ceo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">assertion by PG&E executives\u003c/a> that the company may need to impose widespread preemptive power outages for as long as the next decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This does not have to be the new normal,” Newsom said. “Those saying this will take 10 years to fix are telling you something that factually cannot be true. We will hit the ground running as soon as we deal with the Kincade Fire and deal with these flareups.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At an evacuation center at Napa Valley College, Francisco Alvarado, 15, said he, two younger brothers and his parents decided to leave their Calistoga home in advance of evacuation orders. Two years ago, the family had to flee the deadly Tubbs Fire – in the middle of the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m pretty mad that we have to keep evacuating,” he said. “I just want to be home. I’m trying to leave here tomorrow; I want to sleep in my bed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hundreds of people arrived at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in Santa Rosa by Sunday. Some came from nursing homes. More than 300 people slept in an auditorium filled with cots and wheeled beds. Scores of others stayed in a separate building with their pets.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
