A big thank you to first responders [View all]

I’m close but not next to the large fires in Northern California. Firefighters are moving extremely fast and putting out new fires before they get bigger. The orderly evacuation of almost entire county, Sonoma, is amazon and due to planning, practice, great notifications, and a cooperative public.

What I keep hearing on local news and from friends directly affected is that the community learned much from previous fires and have acted quickly and with great organization.

thank you to all who are fighting these fires, planned for them, funded preparation, and anticipated the next emergencies. It’s not easy to invest for potential emergencies, but Sonoma did.
