Podcasts about Tubbs Fire

More than 16,000 structures were lost in last month's wildfires in LA. Residents there are now beginning the difficult process of deciding whether they can — or even want to — rebuild. For those who do, experts and survivors of past wildfires say there are ways to build in some resilience against future fires. In Santa Rosa's Coffey Park, that's what many residents did after the 2017 Tubbs Fire decimated their neighborhood. Reporter: Adhiti Bandlamudi, KQED Big water releases from two Central Valley dams are leaving farmers flummoxed. It's the result of an executive order from President Trump that's supposed to help fight wildfires in Los Angeles. But the water is unlikely to reach its intended destination.

Join Michael Jaco and special guest Michelle Melendez, author of The Great Maui Land Grab, as they dive deep into the untold stories and chilling realities surrounding the devastating fires in Lahaina, Maui. From the shocking lack of reconstruction progress—only 20 building permits issued out of 2,200 destroyed homes—to the alarming government attempts to seize land for "workforce housing," Melendez exposes the dark undercurrents of corruption and injustice. In this explosive episode, Melendez and Jaco challenge the official narrative, presenting compelling evidence of directed energy weapons, anomalies like melted cars beside untouched trees, and the tragic disappearance of countless children, with unreported death tolls far exceeding the official numbers. They connect these events to broader patterns of destruction, including California and North Carolina fires, raising questions about a coordinated effort to displace communities and implement so-called "smart cities."

Today, we are bringing you a special segment of SoCo Chat, one focused on the fires that have been sweeping through parts of Los Angeles these past 10 days. To many of us here in Sonoma County, images of these fires have brought back many heart-breaking reminders of what we went through. These are hard memories. But they come with valuable and hard-earned lessons, which many of our local leaders, including the two we have with us today, have been asked to share with our counterparts in Southern California. We thought it would be timely to reflect on these lessons and remind our listeners – including those who are perhaps new to Sonoma County – what we can and should be doing to prepare for the next wildfire. Joining us is Jeff DuVall, director of the Sonoma County Department of Emergency Management and Pamela Van Halsema, Communications Program Specialist for Sonoma Water but, is joining us in her capacity as a survivor of the 2017 fire and a leader involved in the rebuilding of Santa Rosa's Coffey Park Neighborhood.

LAist Science Reporter Jacob Margolis looks at what Angelenos affected by the LA wildfires can expect as they try to rebuild their lives. In this hour, Margolis turns to experts about what to know about housing options, recouping losses, and making homes and neighborhoods more fire resistant. And he also gets insights from a 2017 Tubbs Fire wildfire survivor about the recovery and healing process after losing everything. Guests: David Wagner, LAist Housing Reporter Alex Robertson, lawyer with Robertson & Associates, LLP David Shew, former Cal Fire chief, Napa County Fire Administrator Stephanie Pincetl, Professor at UCLA’s Institute of the Environment and Sustainability and Director of the California Center for Sustainable Communities Melissa Geissinger, a survivor of the 2017 Tubbs Fire in Santa Rosa. https://melissageissinger.com/

LAist science reporter and host of The Big Burn podcast, Jacob Margolis, takes listener questions and talks with experts about the state of immediate housing, rebuilding and fire resiliency, and he speaks with a survivor of the 2017 Tubbs Fire, which devastated Santa Rosa and the surrounding region.

This is The Digital Story Podcast #955, July 9, 2024. Today's theme is "Are You an Off-the-Grid Ready Photographer?" I'm Derrick Story. Opening Monologue Some of the most important images in my personal library were captured during the Tubbs Fire of 2017. I documented the events the best I could during our 10-day evacuation flee. But I could have done better, much better, had I been prepared. And I wasn't. Whether it's in time of emergency, or fulfilling a desire to just get away, off-the-grid readiness is sure to pay dividends at some point in the near future. In this week's podcast, I share what I've learned over the last seven years. I hope you enjoy the show.

In this profound episode of "These Fukken Feelings Podcast," we welcome Angela Legh, a beacon of hope and a guiding light in the world of personal transformation and conscious parenting. Angela, a survivor of the devastating Tubbs wildfire and an advocate for self-love and emotional well-being, shares her incredible journey from despair to discovery.Angela opens up about her life before the wildfire – a life filled with internal struggles, unacknowledged sacrifices, and a false sense of fulfillment. She recounts the painful patterns of over-giving in both her professional and personal life, and how these led to a sense of victimization and loss of self.The turning point, she explains, was the catastrophic Tubbs Fire of 2017, which obliterated her family home and forced her to reevaluate her life from the ground up. Angela describes her descent into depression, her courageous decision to end her 32-year marriage, and her eventual resignation from a draining job in local government.Listeners will be captivated as Angela takes us through her healing journey across various countries, from Bali to the UK. She shares insights on how her travels helped her understand the universality of human desires and struggles, and how confronting her internal wounds led to a profound shift in perspective.Angela's story is not just about personal healing; it's about extending this healing to others. She discusses how her experiences inspired her to write the Bella Santini Chronicles, magical children's fairytales aimed at nurturing emotional well-being in children and supporting conscious parenting. Angela emphasizes the interconnectedness of a child's well-being with the emotional health of their parents, highlighting her work with adults through online courses and mentoring.This episode is an invitation to explore the magic within and around us. Angela's message resonates with anyone seeking to rediscover their inner child, find joy and playfulness in life, and embrace the magic of love and curiosity.Join us for this emotionally rich and transformative episode with Angela Legh, and discover how to tap into your own inner magic and create the life you deserve.#AngelaLegh, #PersonalTransformation, #ConsciousParenting, #EmotionalWellbeing, #SelfLove, #HealingJourney, #TubbsFireSurvivor, #MagicOfLove, #InnerChild, #BellaSantiniChronicles, #ParentalSupport, #MentalHealth, #TheseFukkenFeelingsPodcast #TransformationalStories, #HealingFromAshes, #ConsciousLiving, #ParentingWithPurpose, #EmbraceYourMagic, #LifeAfterLoss, #EmpathyAndHealing, #StorytellingForChange, #SelfDiscovery, #InnerStrengthSupport the show

As fires ravaged California's world-famous wine country in 2017, a community radio station, emergency dispatcher, and tenant organizers helped the most vulnerable in their community survive and recover.   Community organizers and hosts of the podcast But Next Time Chrishelle Palay and Rose Arrieta bring us the first of four stories of hard-won lessons learned from people on the frontlines of California's wildfires and Texas' storms as they work to answer the question, how can next time be different? In this first episode we discuss hardship faced by farm and service workers during this time, especially non-English speakers. These workers are the heart of wine country, from the planters to the harvesters, to the line cooks, hotel staff and dishwashers. Our systems failed them, how do we do better next time?

After living in three haunted houses and experiencing the paranormal since childhood, she became a paranormal researcher in 2010 after watching Ghost Hunters and going on my first public ghost hunt with Amy Bruni at the Phoenix Theatre in Petaluma, California.   In the aftermath and reconstruction following the destruction of her home in the 2017 Tubbs Fire, she made the decision that investigating the paranormal was what she wanted to do in her free time.  Her focus continues to be historic hauntings which blends her passions for history and the paranormal.  In her work as a historic haunting researcher, she attempts to connect paranormal activity to a historic event, or the people associated with a property. In February of 2023, she took a leap back into her first passion, storytelling, and began to write about her adventures in the paranormal world for a book entitled, “The Paranormal Pages.” Two of the stories can be found in the February-March Nationwide and International and the March California editions of “American Paranormal Magazine.”  The book is slated for release in early 2024.

Press Democrat reporters Mary Callahan and Kerry Benefield talk about the survivors' harrowing stories from the Mark West neighborhood during the Tubbs Fire in Sonoma County 2017 and how you move on from that. They talk about gaining trust as a reporter with people who have gone through the most devastating experiences. About dispatchers working through the night of the fire knowing their own homes were burning down and stories from first responders still wishing they could have done more.     

Mike Harkins stayed behind as the flames approached his Coffey Park neighborhood and everyone else evacuated. Harkins knocked on doors to make sure people were awake, and leaving. He helped his elderly neighbor, a wheelchair user, into her van. When he wasn't hosing down his house and the houses of neighbors, Harkins was stamping out spot fires. Harkins recalls that night for The Press Democrat. 

Sonoma County children who were in kindergarten when the 2017 wildfires blazed have barely known a school year without major disruptions, such as the pandemic and the wildfires. In our ongoing series, Press Democrat Deputy Editor Brett Wilkison and Senior Investigative Reporter Martin Espinoza talk about Generation Disaster, and the impact of the 2017 wildfires on these children who are now fifth graders.       

The Press Democrat shares its October 2022 series marking 5 years since the 2017 wildfires. Those who lost everything say the deck was stacked against them from the start. In this episode, Press Democrat "In Your Corner" columnist Marisa Endicott and Press Democrat enterprise and investigative reporter Andrew Graham talk about the frustration that's been building as fire victims wait for compensation some five years later.  

In this first of a series of podcasts throughout October 2022 to accompany reports in print and online, The Press Democrat examines five years since the 2017 wildfires.  Deputy editor Brett Wilkison talks with senior reporter Phil Barber about the fires, what we've learned since, and views on how climate change plays a role. 

This episode features an interview with Dr. Kelly Hereid, Director of Catastrophe R&D at Liberty Mutual Insurance in the Corporate Enterprise Risk Management Group. Prior to Liberty Mutual, Kelly was a research scientist at Chubb in their primary side natural catastrophe unit. She has a Ph.D. in geological sciences from the University of Texas – Austin, focusing on climate science. On this episode, Kelly talks about using historical data to create catastrophe models, taking a strategic standpoint to invest in resiliency, and reducing vulnerability to changing hazards.Quotes*”There is a huge need in the financial sector to try and capture [climate] risk. Which means there's a lot of information that's available, but you also have to be able to sift through what's there and interpret it appropriately to make sure that you're not just ending up with perhaps nonsense just because the data is available does not necessarily mean that it's data that you can use.”*”If I have someone who's trying to say that they have a model that will tell me down to the cent what your hurricane losses will be in 2050, I would want to have some questions about that because I know that the scientific confidence in changes in hurricane frequency is comparatively low. We operate in a field that includes a lot of data, but also includes a lot of uncertainty. So we need to be really comfortable operating in a space of uncertain and developing science.”*The Tubbs Fire in Santa Rosa, at the time, the most expensive and destructive California wildfire in history in the past has almost exactly the same footprint as another fire called the Hanly Fire that happened in the 1960s. Literally exactly almost identical. The only difference is nobody knows about the fire in the sixties, because at that time there was no one living in the area. So it's that it's a change in hazard, but some of these are areas that have always burned, but now there are people there who are at risk.”*”Catastrophe models allow us to look at historical events in the context of where people live today. So you might run, say, a historical wildfire footprint, but run it with where people are actually living today. So you can be able to see those changes that are driven by exposure, by people moving to different areas. On my team, we also do things like stress tests, where we take the model as it stands. And we can do ‘what if' experiments, because each one of these events in the model has some characteristics of the event; how big it is, severity, spread, but it also has an assumed frequency. So we can say what would happen if you doubled the frequency of this particular characteristic of event, or tripled it? What kind of impact could that potentially have to sort of our overall book of business, our overall loss potential and damage potential from wildfires? So as a tool, we don't just use it at face value. We can use it as a place to drop, to run and drive experiments that can allow us to explore future climates when we don't necessarily know what that percent change is going to be.” *”You can do amazing research and come up with really interesting conclusions. But if you don't have any way to tie it to the needs of your audience, the needs of your end user, it may as well have not have happened.”*”We can't prevent disasters from perhaps we can, we can't prevent hazards from happening, but we do have the opportunity as a society to prevent more disasters. Because disaster is an intersection between hazard and a community.”Time Stamps[2:03] The path to becoming Director of Catastrophe Research and Development[3:44] What are catastrophe models?[12:44] Studying wildfires and why they have become more hazardous[19:59] How to change your risk profile[20:57] How updated building codes can affect your business resiliency[28:12] The role of the modeling team[32:51] Data integrity and challenges in modeling hazardsLinksConnect with Kelly on LinkedInFollow Kelly on TwitterCheck out Liberty Mutual InsuranceConnect with Rob on LinkedInFollow Rob on TwitterThanks to our friendsTruth Be Known is brought to you by Talend, a leader in data integration and data integrity, enabling every company to find clarity amidst the chaos.

“Art doesn't seem very important in an event like this. And yet sometimes, it's the thing that lasts the longest and means the most.” -Brian Fies    Episode Description:  Wildfires are devastating. They destroy homes, businesses, and sometimes even entire communities. And when they're over, what's left is often a wasteland of charred earth and blackened trees. In a few minutes, everything you've built has burned to the ground, without having the chance to say goodbye. But the most painful thing is to be forced to move on when you're still grieving your loss. They say it's just stuff, but it's your life embedded in them.    But as much as you want to, there's no going back. You can only build a new life. And in this new life, it's important to remember and tell your story. One way to memorialize your story is through art. It's a way to connect with others who have gone through something similar and help them heal. Author, artist, and fire survivor Brain Fies and his family were one of the thousands who lost their home during the 2017 Tubbs Fire. Four years later, he still continues to inspire others through his art.    Tune in as Brian relates the painful events of that day and how being an artist enabled him to be a source of strength for his family and others who have gone through the same experience. Jennifer and Brian also discuss the wisdom found in following building codes and landscaping, how climate change plays a huge role in these global wildfires, the demarcations of life before and after the fire, controlling your fire narrative, allowing yourself time to grieve, and the role of an artist in disaster recovery.     As an artist or journalist, you have a powerful voice. Let your story be a source of healing for yourself and your community.

Well what can you say about Shannon Jay.... he is everything a hero should be and a little bit more!!!!Shannon Jay is an ex law enforcement officer who has now retired and when the need arises he will drive hours to enter the burn zones of Fire affected areas to rescue and locate cats who are missing, injured and often hours away from death. Shannon has cumulatively spent over three thousand hours in the burns zones of the Tubbs Fire, Paradise Fire as well as the most recent Dixie Fire.  Shannon enters these areas when the air is so toxic and dangerous yet is filled only with determination to do what he is there to do.. save lives, to rescue and find as many cats as he can.Shannon has skills that would rival anyone. There is probably next to nothing that he doesn't know about rescuing and finding lost cats and especially those cats affected by the awful camp fires. His skills have enabled him to save cats from the brink of death, find them in time and reunite them with their families who have been heartbroken and sick with worry. Shannon even rescued a cat 222 days after a fire. His reputation goes before him and his success rate is one which is prolific and he is generally just an outstanding human being.Shannon shares during our chat the do's and do not's of working in these conditions, the behaviours of cats who are as you know some of the most skilled animals on the planet. He explains how to track them, their patterns and information which brings his story to life. For someone listening ,who like me, would probably never have a reason to be in a burn zone to fully understand what it is like then you will hear Shannon describes everything so visually that you feel part of his journey, as if you are there beside him.Shannon has a gift with words and doesn't hold back in educating others, he wants to help, he wants others to do what he does but in the best way possible and is passionate about his work in this field ,which by the way, comes from his heart and his whole being.Shannon has a gift, it goes without saying, but one thing that came across is his humility, his humbleness and his outright respect for the animals he does so much to rescue. You can tell from his every word that he cares deeply for these amazing beings, he is broken when he knows he could not or did not save them in time and yet finds something deep inside him which keeps him going doing what he does best.Shannon's respect for cats is evident to anyone listening or to anyone who has the privilege of spending any amount of time in his company. I witnessed it even if it was only virtually and in so many ways he was quite awe inspiring. I felt respect and trust for a man I have never met. The only way to describe it is to know that if anyone was to be out there searching for my lost cat then I would want it to be Shannon, I know I could trust him to do everything in his power to find them. Any cat saved by Shannon was and is a lucky one. The man is gifted.Besides saving cats from Fires and devastating burn zones Shannon also works with people around the world helping them to find lost cats, even so far as helping someone in the UK all the way from America. As I already said ... gifted!One thing I failed to mention to Shannon during the interview but which I noted and that was his thanks for his partner Heather. He recognised her part in his role during these fires and how its not only about him but about Heather too. That itself was beautiful to hear and I am sorry Shannon I did not mention it to you when we spoke, but I did hear you and know how much you truly appreciate the support you receive from Heather.Shannon is one star of the Fire Cats Movie Thanks for listening!Fiona xSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/letschataboutcatspodcast)

An interview with Kaiser Santa Rosa Emergency Medicine physician, Dr. Cheryl McBride, about evacuating her family during the 2017 Tubbs Fire in Sonoma County, the loss of her family's home and all possessions and the long recovery from the aftermath of the fire in her town and Sonoma County.

September 28, 2020. It’s the middle of the night, at the Veterans Memorial Building in Santa Rosa. About 200 senior citizens are outside, sitting on folding chairs or in their wheelchairs. Just waiting. Most of them were in bed just a few hours before, until a massive wildfire came racing toward their retirement community. Many of them had been through this before in the 2017 Tubbs Fire. That fire was a reckoning; with nature, with our state and county leaders, with the companies we pay to take care of our elderly loved ones. And still, three years later, we are leaving hundreds of frail seniors in the literal cold while wildfire threatens their community and the last place in their lives they will call home. The California Report’s health correspondent April Dembosky and science reporter Molly Peterson spent a year investigating long-term care homes around the state to see how they're planning for wildfire, and if it's enough.

Today is the 3rd anniversary of the Tubbs Fire in Sonoma/Lake/Napa County. It started October 8, 2017 very late in the evening and pretty much the course of Audra's life. Join her in this short episode for a glimpse of what she learned and how she felt as she experienced this critical incident. Wikipedia describes the Tubbs Fire as follows:The Tubbs Fire was a fire storm that ravaged Northern California during October 2017. At the time, the Tubbs Fire was the most destructive wildfire in California history, burning parts of Napa, Sonoma, and Lake counties, inflicting its damage to the city of Santa Rosa. Its destructiveness was surpassed only a year later by the Camp Fire of 2018. The Tubbs Fire was one of more than a dozen large fires that broke out in early October 2017, which were simultaneously burning in eight Northern California counties, in what was called the "Northern California firestorm."[9] By the time of its containment on October 31, the fire was estimated to have burned 36,810 acres (149 km2); at least 22 people were believed to have been killed in Sonoma County by the fire.The fire started near Tubbs Lane in the rural northern part of Calistoga, in Napa County. It destroyed more than 5,643 structures,half of which were homes in Santa Rosa. Santa Rosa's economic loss from the Tubbs Fire was estimated at $1.2 billion (2017 USD), with five percent of the city's housing stock destroyed.The Tubbs Fire also incurred an additional $100 million in fire suppression costs.After an investigation lasting over a year, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) determined that the Tubbs Fire was "caused by a private electrical system adjacent to a residential structure" and that there had been no violations of the state's Public Resources Code.

Taking Charge of Your Recovery. The Firefighter Deconstructed sits down with paramedic and dispatcher Michael Henderson. Michael was a paramedic in Oakland, CA and then became a dispatcher. He was a dispatcher on duty during the catastrophic Tubbs Fire in Santa Rosa and Napa that became the most destructive fire in California history. We talk about his journey through trauma and the resulting PTSI. Michael's spiral down to the bottom of that dark hole almost cost him his life. His journey back is one of resilience and inspiration. We also talk about the Stellate Ganglion Block treatment for PTSI and Michael's experience with it. You can find Michael at:www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100028203436078Mj_henderson@hotmail.com

Santa Rosa, USA lockdown sound recorded by Joe Winkler. "Our home and 2,900 others nearby were destroyed by the Tubbs Fire in Oct of 2017. We rebuilt on our lot and moved in last July. The housing construction sounds that we hear on a daily basis have now been overwhelmed by the sounds of sewer installation work. Recording and photo taken from our front porch. "We have been sheltering in place for the past three weeks. We are in our mid 70's with added risk factors so we act as responsible as possible. "We were about 10 minutes ahead of the fire, leaving with the clothes on our backs and our two dogs (who, by the way, love the fact that we now almost never leave home). Our fire experience has taught us that the only way is through. Our partially rebuilt community is stronger in every way with a big emphasis on caring for one another borne of our shared loss. "We hope and expect that as we get on the other side of this crisis a similar coming together will occur in communities around the globe.Please, all take care." Part of the #StayHomeSounds project, documenting the sounds of the global coronavirus lockdown around the world - for more information, see http://www.citiesandmemory.com/covid19-sounds

Right on cue, Northern California has plunged back into wildfire hell. This time two years ago, the Tubbs Fire was ripping through Santa Rosa and other communities north of San Francisco, killing 22 and destroying 5,000 homes. And last year on November 8, the Camp Fire virtually obliterated the town of Paradise, killing 86 and burning an astonishing 20,000 structures to the ground.

Critical response skills can be a true test of resilience. Hear how California’s Sonoma County Supervisor James Gore stayed resilient after a natural disaster.

Tonight on “After Paradise” it’s been 23 weeks since the Camp Fire started. In this episode, we hear the latest on PG&E, debris removal and the redesign of Paradise. We also hear from residents rebuilding in Coffey Park — a community in Santa Rosa that was destroyed in the Tubbs Fire a year-and-a-half ago. We also take a look at homelessness after the Camp Fire, and hear a story about the Helltown Hotshots – four men who stayed behind to help save their community.

Michael Henderson is a former 9-1-1 dispatch supervisor, former paramedic and former US Army Sergeant. Michael was the on-duty dispatch supervisor for the Sonoma County Tubb’s fire, which at the time was the biggest fire in the history of California. As a result of his experience during the fire, Michael was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Struggling with the symptoms of PTSD (depression, anxiety and suicidal ideations), Michael chose not to let the experience of the fire define who he was and took charge of his own recovery. Through self-reflection and self-awareness, Michael has begun his journey of recovery. https://www.linkedin.com/company/mental-health-news-radio-networkwww.facebook.com/mentalhealthnewsradionetworkwww.mhnrnetwork.com

Pete Parkinson’s planning career has spanned not only decades but also various California counties. As a result, he’s familiar with a wide range of hazards. In the fourth episode of the APA Podcast series Resilience Roundtable, he and host Rich Roths, AICP, discuss many of them, including earthquakes, floods, landslides, and wildfires. Pete unfortunately has a very personal experience dealing with the latter, as he and his family lost their home in October 2017 when multiple fires tore through Sonoma County, as well as Lake, Napa, Mendocino, and Solano counties. His story focuses on the Tubbs Fire, which began in Calistoga but spread into Santa Rosa, even jumping Highway 101 in the process. It destroyed the Coffey Park neighborhood and ultimately the Santa Rosa mobile home park where Pete's mother-in-law lived. (The Tubbs Fire is now the second-most destructive fire in California history after the November 2018 Camp Fire, which caused 85 deaths and destroyed 18,804 structures in Butte County.) Pete is now working as a consultant on the new multifamily development at the site of the former mobile home park. The veteran planner ends his heartrending account by sharing the life-saving lessons he learned during and after the experience.

Investigators reveal the cause of the Tubbs Fire!

Cal Fire finds that PG&E equipment did not start the deadly Tubbs Fire in the North Bay -- what does that mean for the utility's impending bankruptcy claim? Scott and Marisa also discuss Kamala Harris' entrance into the 2020 presidential field, and the debate over how "progressive" a prosecutor she was in California. Then, San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi joins to discuss Harris' time as district attorney, his work in the public defender's office, and further changes he'd like to see to California's bail system.

A year after the massive Tubbs Fire broke out in Santa Rosa, California, we joined some troops of Girl Scouts who are part of a new initiative to help farmers restore bee patches they lost to the wildfire.

On this episode, we look at the 2017 Tubbs Fire in California, and how it impacted the undocumented community. In the face of ICE raids, labor violations, a housing crisis, and wildfires, the broader community is standing in solidarity with those who are forced into the shadows. California’s drought has led to an unprecedented number of wildfires that burn hotter, faster, and ever more acreage. Governor Jerry Brown says, “Since civilization emerged 10,000 years ago, we haven’t had this kind of heat condition, and it’s going to continue getting worse.” What does the growing threat of climate-fueled disasters mean for the most vulnerable among us?

Cal Fire Chief Ken Pimlott joins KCBS Radio reporter and guest In Depth host Jenna Lane for a discussion about his decades-long career in firefighting--a look back at how his career started, plus how firefighting has changed over the years. "You know, a number of things have changed. The basics of firefighting have not changed. How you put fires out, but the conditions have changed," he explained. "The risks to firefighters have really increased." And, as Pimlott pointed out to Lane, the risks to firefighters aren't just physical but mental as well. "And they may not occur overnight but they accumulate over years. And we're really seeing the effects of that and now when you have a fire season it really is year-round." As a result of back-to-back firefighters, deployments in some cases were back to back, Pimlott pointed out. Pimlott also addressed funding and investigations during his In Depth appearance. "The support for our fire prevention and law enforcement program is absolutely there. We have the resources to get that done, understanding that in the North Bay fires, we had over thirty fires we were investigation as part of this complex of fires. And it wasn't just in the North Bay." Investigators, said Pimlott, were essentially broken up into "teams" to address what were "complex" investigations. "It takes time and it takes painstaking work and it really is a process of eliminating what didn't start the fires, you can narrow these causes down." The cause of the Tubbs Fire, it should be noted--certainly one of the more remarkably deadly and destructive of the 2017 Wine County wildfires--has not yet been determined. "In some cases you can't determine a cause because it's just, you know, these are fire scenes that are burning haphazardly. I think we look at every fire as important, whether it's a small fire that burned a few acres or a fire like the Tubbs Fire that burned thousands of acres and took so many structures and lives. They're all important because the losses that are involved are the same no matter what scale you are at but it's also important to determine the cause so that we can help prevent fires in the future. If we identify certain causes then we can work to prevent that down the road. And, then the investigations themselves are used by others, district attorneys and insurance companies and other entities to look for their own needs."

The third episode of The Response travels to Northern California to provide a unique perspective on the topics of climate change and immigration. We put the focus on last year's Tubbs Fire in Santa Rosa, California — the state's most destructive fire to date — and how it impacted the undocumented community. We explore how, in the face of ICE raids, labor violations, a housing crisis, and climate-fueled wildfires, the broader community is coming together to stand in solidarity with those who are being forced into the shadows. California's climate-fueled drought has left the state in an extremely precarious condition and has led to an unprecedented number of wildfires that are burning hotter, faster, and ever more acreage. The largest wildfire in the state's recorded history was the Mendocino Complex Fire, which scorched well over four-hundred thousand acres during the Summer of 2018. And the second largest fire in California burned just a year before that. As California Governor Jerry Brown says, “Since civilization emerged 10,000 years ago, we haven't had this kind of heat condition, and it's going to continue getting worse.” We've already reached a one degree celsius increase in average global temperatures, and we may be on track for four by the end of the century. As the reality of an increasingly chaotic climate begins to settle in, it must be viewed through a lens of social, economic, and political circumstances as well. What does the growing threat of climate-fueled disasters mean for the most vulnerable among us?

The Tubbs Fire in the North Bay created a whole new group of homelessness in Santa Rosa. Since October, those who lost their homes have received most of the attention but many people were already living on the streets. Guest: Jennielynn Holmes, Director of Shelter & Housing at Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Santa Rosa.

This fall has been a trying time for the United States with natural disasters impacting several of its states and territories. Most recently, the Tubbs Fire—a wildfire that is contained but still burning in several counties in Northern California—has claimed the lives of over 40 people, destroyed thousands of structures and laid waste to tens of thousands of acres of land. Taliesin Gilkes-Bower is a photographer, DJ and visual artist who lives near the affected area and who bore witness to the aftermath of the disaster. Drawing from his experience capturing images for news and documentaries, he shares his account of what little is left and experiencing a force of nature that can easily erase the lives we know.
