Monday, October 9 in the early morning hours, fire, pushed by unusually high winds, blasted into the Northern Santa Rosa neighborhood known as Coffey Park. This fire was named the Tubbs Fire but 14 other fires, all fanned by the high winds burned in Sonoma and the neighboring counties. More than 40 people died and over 8300 buildings were destroyed.
The fire was so hot it melted aluminium engines and wheels. |
