"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

As Cal Fire crews saw the quickly moving flames burn through the hills around Calistoga, they realized people needed to evacuate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 10:30 p.m. state fire officials tried to get law enforcement to call and warn people on their home phones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those calls did not go out until 11:35 p.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S06shHLLLjk&feature=youtu.be\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 11:59 p.m., Cal Fire expanded its request for evacuations to include the entire area from Calistoga west to the city of Santa Rosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But residents did not receive another alert, of any kind, until 1:05 a.m.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hundreds of hours of 911 calls and dispatch recordings reviewed by KQED expose gaps in the emergency response system. These problems go beyond North Bay communities and touch on the limitations of current evacuation procedures, the challenge of communicating across jurisdictional boundaries and the difficulties in notifying hundreds of thousands of people when disaster strikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the night of Oct. 8, those problems led to overwhelmed emergency operators giving 911 callers conflicting information about whether to evacuate. In some instances, operators told residents to stay put until law enforcement officers knocked on their doors. Others told callers to use their judgment and evacuate if they felt unsafe. In more than one case, dispatchers who were asked to send out evacuation calls didn’t know what they needed to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tubbs Fire would ultimately kill 22 people and destroy thousands of homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2018/01/FireCommsLewisPickoffWhite.mp3\" title=\"Cal Fire Asked Sonoma Officials to Call Residents to Evacuate\" program=\"KQED News\" image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/29025_transform.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]A[/dropcap]aron Abbott, who runs Sonoma County’s fire and medical dispatch center, Redcom, acknowledged that authorities were overwhelmed in the early hours of the fire as they fielded hundreds of calls. The Redcom center, where 911 operators are located, was itself impacted by the fires. The dispatch center lost power — causing the room to fill with smoke. Flames burned within a few hundred feet of the building, nearly forcing Abbott to evacuate his staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was not the wall of fire coming down the mountain like I think a lot of people have this concept in their head,” Abbott said. “What we experienced in the dispatch center were hundreds of disparate fire locations throughout the entire county … and when you have that many fire locations and that many responders being dispatched to disparate locations, it’s going to take some time to understand what the nature of this fire was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”PyTgw4wvAbUnq8c2hRXYQrhEiHItWOJv”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Firefighters and law enforcement officers also faced logistical challenges as they attempted to save lives and evacuate people: Power lines knocked down by high winds sprawled across roads, blocking access; landlines went dead as the fire chewed through telephone lines; and even mobile phones were rendered useless after the fires took out more than 70 cellphone towers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jonathan Cox, a Northern California battalion chief for Cal Fire, said the fire’s speed made it hard to get people out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Tubbs Fire was moving at a football-field-a-minute from the Calistoga side of this area,” Cox said. “It was one of those instances where the disaster was moving faster than literally people could communicate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]B[/dropcap]ut evacuation procedures also contributed to some of the delays in getting people out of harm’s way. As blazes bore down on Sonoma County homes, Cal Fire wasn’t authorized to order evacuations. Neither were dispatchers. Only law enforcement could tell people they had to leave their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means in the first hours of the October fire, Cal Fire recommended evacuations to Redcom dispatchers, who then had to get approval from the Sheriff’s Department before they could order people to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have a state agency in another county who asked to call us in this county because something going on in their county is now crossing jurisdictional lines and they need the authorities in this county to be able to send the alerts out locally here because they’re not going to have, in another county, the infrastructure or even the capability … or the authority to send an alert in this county,” Redcom’s Abbott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also complicating matters are the different types of alerts that exist and how they are sent out:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/wireless-emergency-alerts-wea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wireless Emergency Alert, or WEA\u003c/a>: When phone companies override private cellphones in a specific geographic area on behalf of government agencies and send you an alert you cannot ignore — for instance, these are commonly used for Amber Alerts\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://safetyinformed.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reverse 911\u003c/a>: When 911 operators call you, often on a landline\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://sonomacounty.ca.gov/FES/Emergency-Management/SoCoAlert/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SoCo Alert\u003c/a>: An opt-in system that is similar to Reverse 911 that can send alerts to phone lines, emails and texts\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nixle.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nixle\u003c/a>: An opt-in system that many county agencies, including Sonoma and Napa, use to contact residents via text and email alerts\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Even with these various technologies available, many residents in the path of the fire never received a single evacuation notification. Between the time the fires broke out and 2 a.m., Sonoma County officials sent out four alerts through SoCo. The city of Santa Rosa sent out three alerts, but not until 1:53 a.m., after the fire had jumped over Highway 101, a six-lane freeway, and was already in the city’s residential subdivisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonoma County officials also sent out four alerts about evacuations and the fires through the opt-in system Nixle between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. That included a Nixle alert sent at 11:03 p.m. warning people to evacuate around Porter Creek and Petrified Forest Road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Helgren, emergency manager for Sonoma County Fire and Emergency Services, faced questions about his decision not to send wireless emergency alerts even as the Tubbs Fire still burned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that our decisions saved lives,” he said. “And I can’t imagine having a wider alert for people that were not in the immediate danger area. I can’t imagine what that would have added to the already overly congested situation, where literally the roads were locked and there was no movement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonoma County Sheriff Robert Giordano declined KQED’s request for an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has been well documented that we had 29 deputies on duty when the fire broke out and over 170 deputies responded within the first 12 hours,” sheriff’s spokesman Spencer Crum wrote in an email. “We went door to door notifying residents of the fire, along with sending Nixles and a SoCo Alert reverse 911 call to residents to evacuate.

For instance, it is looking at expanding the length of alerts from 90 to 360 characters and allowing the system to target smaller geographic areas.

The Redcom center, where 911 operators are located, was itself impacted by the fires. The dispatch center lost power — causing the room to fill with smoke. Flames burned within a few hundred feet of the building, nearly forcing Abbott to evacuate his staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This was not the wall of fire coming down the mountain like I think a lot of people have this concept in their head,” Abbott said. “What we experienced in the dispatch center were hundreds of disparate fire locations throughout the entire county … and when you have that many fire locations and that many responders being dispatched to disparate locations, it’s going to take some time to understand what the nature of this fire was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Firefighters and law enforcement officers also faced logistical challenges as they attempted to save lives and evacuate people: Power lines knocked down by high winds sprawled across roads, blocking access; landlines went dead as the fire chewed through telephone lines; and even mobile phones were rendered useless after the fires took out more than 70 cellphone towers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jonathan Cox, a Northern California battalion chief for Cal Fire, said the fire’s speed made it hard to get people out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Tubbs Fire was moving at a football-field-a-minute from the Calistoga side of this area,” Cox said. “It was one of those instances where the disaster was moving faster than literally people could communicate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">B\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>ut evacuation procedures also contributed to some of the delays in getting people out of harm’s way. As blazes bore down on Sonoma County homes, Cal Fire wasn’t authorized to order evacuations. Neither were dispatchers. Only law enforcement could tell people they had to leave their homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means in the first hours of the October fire, Cal Fire recommended evacuations to Redcom dispatchers, who then had to get approval from the Sheriff’s Department before they could order people to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have a state agency in another county who asked to call us in this county because something going on in their county is now crossing jurisdictional lines and they need the authorities in this county to be able to send the alerts out locally here because they’re not going to have, in another county, the infrastructure or even the capability … or the authority to send an alert in this county,” Redcom’s Abbott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also complicating matters are the different types of alerts that exist and how they are sent out:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/wireless-emergency-alerts-wea\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Wireless Emergency Alert, or WEA\u003c/a>: When phone companies override private cellphones in a specific geographic area on behalf of government agencies and send you an alert you cannot ignore — for instance, these are commonly used for Amber Alerts\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://safetyinformed.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reverse 911\u003c/a>: When 911 operators call you, often on a landline\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://sonomacounty.ca.gov/FES/Emergency-Management/SoCoAlert/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SoCo Alert\u003c/a>: An opt-in system that is similar to Reverse 911 that can send alerts to phone lines, emails and texts\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.nixle.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nixle\u003c/a>: An opt-in system that many county agencies, including Sonoma and Napa, use to contact residents via text and email alerts\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Even with these various technologies available, many residents in the path of the fire never received a single evacuation notification. Between the time the fires broke out and 2 a.m., Sonoma County officials sent out four alerts through SoCo. The city of Santa Rosa sent out three alerts, but not until 1:53 a.m., after the fire had jumped over Highway 101, a six-lane freeway, and was already in the city’s residential subdivisions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonoma County officials also sent out four alerts about evacuations and the fires through the opt-in system Nixle between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. That included a Nixle alert sent at 11:03 p.m. warning people to evacuate around Porter Creek and Petrified Forest Road.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Helgren, emergency manager for Sonoma County Fire and Emergency Services, faced questions about his decision not to send wireless emergency alerts even as the Tubbs Fire still burned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that our decisions saved lives,” he said. “And I can’t imagine having a wider alert for people that were not in the immediate danger area. I can’t imagine what that would have added to the already overly congested situation, where literally the roads were locked and there was no movement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sonoma County Sheriff Robert Giordano declined KQED’s request for an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has been well documented that we had 29 deputies on duty when the fire broke out and over 170 deputies responded within the first 12 hours,” sheriff’s spokesman Spencer Crum wrote in an email. “We went door to door notifying residents of the fire, along with sending Nixles and a SoCo Alert reverse 911 call to residents to evacuate. At this time we are focused on rebuilding our community here in Sonoma County.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The bill would require counties to send alerts to cellphones and landlines as well as broadcasting those messages through radio, television and on state-controlled highway billboards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Federal Communications Commission is also \u003ca href=\"https://www.fcc.gov/fcc-takes-action-strengthen-wireless-emergency-alerts-public-safety-tool\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">considering regulations\u003c/a> that would strengthen the Wireless Emergency Alert system and make it more effective. For instance, it is looking at expanding the length of alerts from 90 to 360 characters and allowing the system to target smaller geographic areas.

I had emergency water, energy bars. I was more prepared than most people because I had been through fire before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I first met Pamela at an evacuation shelter at the Finley Community Center in Santa Rosa. She’s in her late 50s, with a slight limp and dark purple hair. She’s been staying there with her service dog, Blue.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Things Were Getting Better\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the fall of 2015, Pamela was living on Cobb Mountain in Lake County. Things were looking up for her. After a few run-ins with the law, she left an abusive relationship and got sober. She went through a rehabilitation program and cleared her record. She was managing some of her health issues; lung disease and chronic pain from an incident in 2000 in which she says someone attacked and robbed her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve been in pain ever since,” Pamela tells me. “I had to teach myself how to walk all over. They wanted to put me in a wheelchair. And I was like, ‘nuh-uh, I’m not going.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“I don’t know exactly what they’re going through, but I know what I went through. So I help wherever I can help.” \u003ccite>Pamela Voyles\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Pamela was just starting to get back on her feet. But then, one September afternoon, \u003ca href=\"http://calfire.ca.gov/fire_protection/downloads/FireReports/Valley/J_Damage%20Assessment%20Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a fire broke out\u003c/a> nearby. She had 20 minutes to gather her things and leave. By the time the Valley Fire was contained, almost 2,000 buildings were gone, including her apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had no place to go back to,” she explains. “There just wasn’t anything that I could afford up there at the time, or housing. There wasn’t enough housing for people. And so that’s why I came down to Santa Rosa.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Homeless in Santa Rosa\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Pamela spent most of two years in and out of Santa Rosa homeless shelters. She’s now bracing herself for the psychological aftermath of having to flee from flames yet again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just brought all those feelings and those flashbacks of the Valley Fire,” she says sadly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela also knows how hard it is to find housing after a fire, especially without a job — she’s on disability. Shelter workers helped her save money and rent an apartment in Santa Rosa. She says she must have put in 30 applications to different places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a long wait, she got a federal Section 8 voucher and found a one-bedroom apartment. She’s so grateful for all the support that she now volunteers with shelters, \u003ca href=\"http://www.thelivingroomsc.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Living Room\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/redwoodgospelmission\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Rose\u003c/a>. Her favorite place to help out is \u003ca href=\"http://www.homelesswithpets.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Homeless With Pets\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela moved into her new place about seven months ago. It was an adjustment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to get used to being back in your home again,” she tells me. “It’s like, oh, I can walk around the corner and go to the bathroom. I don’t have to drive to a certain building and go. Or, I can take a shower whenever I want to. I can change my clothes whenever I want to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Waiting for News\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When I talk to Pamela at the shelter, she’s waiting for news about her home. It’s just across the highway from the Fountaingrove neighborhood where the fire consumed hundreds of buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that night, she calls me and tells me that she’s allowed to visit her place during the day as long as she’s out by the sunset curfew. So, the next morning we head over.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Visiting Pamela’s Home\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Pamela’s apartment complex is in good shape. Her place is cozy, and filled with knickknacks. There are boxes piled in corners — she says she hadn’t had time to fully unpack yet. We walk around, inspecting her bedroom, the bathroom, the kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has water, but still no electricity. Pamela shows me her jewelry table, which takes up most of one wall of her apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do a lot of crafts,” she says, gesturing to the table. “I make owls out of pinecones. Before the Valley Fire I had picked up a lot of the pinecones before all the trees burnt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fire Victims Face Tough Times Ahead\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Two years after the Valley Fire, Lake County is still trying to rebuild. There was an estimated $1.5 billion in losses. Like Pamela, people left the area for better housing, though \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/6041674-181/a-year-later-valley-fires?gallery=6044366&artslide=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it’s not clear exactly how many\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Santa Rosa will likely face the same problems. The fire destroyed \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/10/13/infernos-could-worsen-bay-areas-already-brutal-housing-market/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4 percent of the city’s housing stock\u003c/a> in the midst of a regional housing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And thousands of people will be looking for a new place to call home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know exactly what they’re going through, but I know what I went through,” Pamela says. “So, I help wherever I can help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela is back in her apartment now. She’s still waiting for the gas to be hooked up again. She’s grateful that her place and all her things are still here. And she empathizes with those who lost everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel for them,” Pamela says, hand to her chest. “When I first went through the fire, it was confusing, devastating, mentally, emotionally and physically.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela is one of the lucky ones — this time. But for anybody who struggles to pay the rent, anybody who’s more vulnerable because they don’t have family support or have lost their job, and for the \u003ca href=\"https://sonoma-county-continuum-of-care.wikispaces.com/file/view/ExecutiveSummary_Sonoma.pdf/615371337/ExecutiveSummary_Sonoma.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">almost 3,000 homeless living in Sonoma County\u003c/a>, life will likely be harder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These fires have long-lasting ramifications for the people who had homes — but also for the ones who didn’t.\u003c/p>\n\n",

I had emergency water, energy bars. I was more prepared than most people because I had been through fire before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I first met Pamela at an evacuation shelter at the Finley Community Center in Santa Rosa.

Things were looking up for her. After a few run-ins with the law, she left an abusive relationship and got sober. She went through a rehabilitation program and cleared her record. She was managing some of her health issues; lung disease and chronic pain from an incident in 2000 in which she says someone attacked and robbed her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They wanted to put me in a wheelchair. And I was like, ‘nuh-uh, I’m not going.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">“I don’t know exactly what they’re going through, but I know what I went through. So I help wherever I can help.” \u003ccite>Pamela Voyles\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Pamela was just starting to get back on her feet. But then, one September afternoon, \u003ca href=\"http://calfire.ca.gov/fire_protection/downloads/FireReports/Valley/J_Damage%20Assessment%20Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a fire broke out\u003c/a> nearby. She had 20 minutes to gather her things and leave. By the time the Valley Fire was contained, almost 2,000 buildings were gone, including her apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had no place to go back to,” she explains. “There just wasn’t anything that I could afford up there at the time, or housing. There wasn’t enough housing for people. And so that’s why I came down to Santa Rosa.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Homeless in Santa Rosa\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Pamela spent most of two years in and out of Santa Rosa homeless shelters. She’s now bracing herself for the psychological aftermath of having to flee from flames yet again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just brought all those feelings and those flashbacks of the Valley Fire,” she says sadly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela also knows how hard it is to find housing after a fire, especially without a job — she’s on disability. Shelter workers helped her save money and rent an apartment in Santa Rosa. She says she must have put in 30 applications to different places.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a long wait, she got a federal Section 8 voucher and found a one-bedroom apartment. She’s so grateful for all the support that she now volunteers with shelters, \u003ca href=\"http://www.thelivingroomsc.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Living Room\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/redwoodgospelmission\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Rose\u003c/a>. Her favorite place to help out is \u003ca href=\"http://www.homelesswithpets.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Homeless With Pets\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela moved into her new place about seven months ago. It was an adjustment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have to get used to being back in your home again,” she tells me. “It’s like, oh, I can walk around the corner and go to the bathroom. I don’t have to drive to a certain building and go. Or, I can take a shower whenever I want to. I can change my clothes whenever I want to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Waiting for News\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>When I talk to Pamela at the shelter, she’s waiting for news about her home. It’s just across the highway from the Fountaingrove neighborhood where the fire consumed hundreds of buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that night, she calls me and tells me that she’s allowed to visit her place during the day as long as she’s out by the sunset curfew. So, the next morning we head over.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Visiting Pamela’s Home\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Pamela’s apartment complex is in good shape. Her place is cozy, and filled with knickknacks. There are boxes piled in corners — she says she hadn’t had time to fully unpack yet. We walk around, inspecting her bedroom, the bathroom, the kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has water, but still no electricity. Pamela shows me her jewelry table, which takes up most of one wall of her apartment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I do a lot of crafts,” she says, gesturing to the table. “I make owls out of pinecones. Before the Valley Fire I had picked up a lot of the pinecones before all the trees burnt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Fire Victims Face Tough Times Ahead\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Two years after the Valley Fire, Lake County is still trying to rebuild. There was an estimated $1.5 billion in losses. Like Pamela, people left the area for better housing, though \u003ca href=\"http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/6041674-181/a-year-later-valley-fires?gallery=6044366&artslide=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">it’s not clear exactly how many\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Santa Rosa will likely face the same problems. The fire destroyed \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/10/13/infernos-could-worsen-bay-areas-already-brutal-housing-market/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">4 percent of the city’s housing stock\u003c/a> in the midst of a regional housing crisis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And thousands of people will be looking for a new place to call home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t know exactly what they’re going through, but I know what I went through,” Pamela says. “So, I help wherever I can help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela is back in her apartment now. She’s still waiting for the gas to be hooked up again. She’s grateful that her place and all her things are still here. And she empathizes with those who lost everything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel for them,” Pamela says, hand to her chest. “When I first went through the fire, it was confusing, devastating, mentally, emotionally and physically.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pamela is one of the lucky ones — this time. But for anybody who struggles to pay the rent, anybody who’s more vulnerable because they don’t have family support or have lost their job, and for the \u003ca href=\"https://sonoma-county-continuum-of-care.wikispaces.com/file/view/ExecutiveSummary_Sonoma.pdf/615371337/ExecutiveSummary_Sonoma.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">almost 3,000 homeless living in Sonoma County\u003c/a>, life will likely be harder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These fires have long-lasting ramifications for the people who had homes — but also for the ones who didn’t.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Napa County authorities identified the driver as 38-year-old Garret Paiz of Missouri.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paiz, who had been delivering water to the fire lines, crashed before dawn in Napa County on a road that climbs from vineyards into the mountains. No other details were available about the accident, which was under investigation, said Mike Wilson, a fire spokesman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The smoky skies started to clear in some places, and thousands of people got the all-clear to return home.

Many of those names were put on the list after people called from out of state to say they could not reach a friend or relative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities said they will not let people return home until it is safe and utilities are restored. Pacific Gas and Electric Company said it expects to restore power and gas to the area by late Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many evacuees grew increasingly impatient to go home — or at least find out whether their homes were still standing. Others were reluctant to go back or to look for another place to live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juan Hernandez, who escaped with his family from his apartment Oct. 9 before it burned down, still had his car packed and ready to go in case the fires flared up again and threatened his sister’s house, where they have been staying in Santa Rosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every day we keep hearing sirens at night, alarms,” Hernandez said. “We’re scared. When you see the fire close to your house, you’re scared.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Sonoma County Fairgrounds Sunday, evacuees watched the San Francisco 49ers play the Redskins on television, received treatment from a chiropractor and got free haircuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Estrada, who owns a barbershop in neighboring Marin County but grew up in one of the Santa Rosa neighborhoods hit hard by the blazes, brought his combs, clippers and scissors and displayed his barbering license in case anyone doubted his credentials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not saving lives,” he said. “I’m just here to make somebody’s day feel better, make them feel normal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lois Krier, 86, said it was hard to sleep on a cot in the shelter with people snoring and dogs barking through the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her husband, William Krier, 89, were eager to get home, but after being evacuated for a second time in a week Saturday, they didn’t want to risk having to leave again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re cautious,” she said. “We want to be safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 11,000 firefighters were still battling 15 fires burning across a 100-mile swath of the state. The blazes have destroyed at least 6,000 homes and other structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who were allowed back into gutted neighborhoods returned to assess the damage and perhaps see if anything was salvageable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jack Daniels recently completed a yearlong remodel of his Napa house near the Silverado Country Club and watched it go up in flames last week as he, his wife, 7-year-old grandson and two pugs backed out of the driveway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His neighbors, Charles Rippey, 100, and his wife, Sara, 98, were the oldest victims identified so far in the wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniels, 74, a wine importer and exporter, said he lost everything left behind, including his wife’s jewelry and 3,000 bottles of wine in his cellar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s heartbreaking,” the 74-year-old said. “This was going to be our last house. I guess we’ve got one more move. But we’re fortunate. We got away. Most things can be replaced. The bank didn’t burn down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Melley reported from San Francisco.

The other facility was Kaiser Permanente’s Santa Rosa Medical Center, which evacuated 130 patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After days of gusts that constantly fanned the fires, better weather offered a chance for crews to get the upper hand on Monday, more than a week after the blazes started chewing through the state’s celebrated wine country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The weather has not been in our favor over the past week in general, but we are still marching forward with our progress,” said Daniel Berlant, spokesman for Cal Fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also Monday, a water truck driver died when his vehicle rolled over near one of the fires, which happened shortly before daybreak. Napa County authorities identified the driver as 38-year-old Garret Paiz of Missouri.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Paiz, who had been delivering water to the fire lines, crashed before dawn in Napa County on a road that climbs from vineyards into the mountains. No other details were available about the accident, which was under investigation, said Mike Wilson, a fire spokesman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The smoky skies started to clear in some places, and thousands of people got the all-clear to return home. About 22,000 people were still under evacuation orders Wednesday, down from a high of 100,000 on Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is my home. I’m going to come back without question,” said Howard Lasker, 56, who returned Sunday with his daughter to their torched house in Santa Rosa. “I have to rebuild. I want to rebuild.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the weather was still hot and dry, the calmer winds and the possibility of rain later in the week should help crews tamp down the deadliest, most destructive cluster of blazes in California history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Any sort of moisture is welcome at this point,” said Scott Rowe, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “In terms of fire, the weather outlook is looking to be improving.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He predicted a quarter-inch would fall late Thursday in Sonoma and Napa counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11623620\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11623620\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/GettyImages-861028680-1-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A sign is posted outside Cline Cellars on October 13, 2017 in Sonoma, California.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sign is posted outside Cline Cellars on Oct. 13, 2017, in Sonoma, California. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Hundreds of people remained unaccounted for, although authorities said many of them are probably safe but have not let anyone know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In hard-hit Sonoma County, Sheriff Rob Giordano said authorities have located 1,560 of the more than 1,700 people once listed as missing. Many of those names were put on the list after people called from out of state to say they could not reach a friend or relative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Authorities said they will not let people return home until it is safe and utilities are restored. Pacific Gas and Electric Company said it expects to restore power and gas to the area by late Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many evacuees grew increasingly impatient to go home — or at least find out whether their homes were still standing. Others were reluctant to go back or to look for another place to live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juan Hernandez, who escaped with his family from his apartment Oct. 9 before it burned down, still had his car packed and ready to go in case the fires flared up again and threatened his sister’s house, where they have been staying in Santa Rosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every day we keep hearing sirens at night, alarms,” Hernandez said. “We’re scared. When you see the fire close to your house, you’re scared.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the Sonoma County Fairgrounds Sunday, evacuees watched the San Francisco 49ers play the Redskins on television, received treatment from a chiropractor and got free haircuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Estrada, who owns a barbershop in neighboring Marin County but grew up in one of the Santa Rosa neighborhoods hit hard by the blazes, brought his combs, clippers and scissors and displayed his barbering license in case anyone doubted his credentials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not saving lives,” he said. “I’m just here to make somebody’s day feel better, make them feel normal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lois Krier, 86, said it was hard to sleep on a cot in the shelter with people snoring and dogs barking through the night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and her husband, William Krier, 89, were eager to get home, but after being evacuated for a second time in a week Saturday, they didn’t want to risk having to leave again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re cautious,” she said. “We want to be safe.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly 11,000 firefighters were still battling 15 fires burning across a 100-mile swath of the state. The blazes have destroyed at least 6,000 homes and other structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who were allowed back into gutted neighborhoods returned to assess the damage and perhaps see if anything was salvageable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jack Daniels recently completed a yearlong remodel of his Napa house near the Silverado Country Club and watched it go up in flames last week as he, his wife, 7-year-old grandson and two pugs backed out of the driveway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His neighbors, Charles Rippey, 100, and his wife, Sara, 98, were the oldest victims identified so far in the wildfires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniels, 74, a wine importer and exporter, said he lost everything left behind, including his wife’s jewelry and 3,000 bottles of wine in his cellar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s heartbreaking,” the 74-year-old said. “This was going to be our last house. I guess we’ve got one more move. But we’re fortunate. We got away. Most things can be replaced. The bank didn’t burn down.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Melley reported from San Francisco.

On Our Watch brings listeners into the rooms where officers are questioned and witnesses are interrogated to find out who this system is really protecting. Is it the officers, or the public they've sworn to serve?",
