As a red flag warning blankets Santa Rosa and surrounding areas this weekend, residents like Bruce McConnell are grappling with memories of past disasters.
SANTA ROSA - 'The red flag warning, immediately you start thinking, 'There was a red flag warning back then.' And we actually saw the start of the Tubbs Fire from our backyard,' McConnell said.The Tubbs Fire obliterated McConnell's home, a residence he had shared with his wife Kathy in Fountain Grove since 2000. 'You can see over in the distance, those are all new homes. They all burned, and far out on that hill, they burned,' McConnell said.
'You hear the red flag warning, you get a pin on your phone and it catches you, it takes your breath away. Everybody who lived through the 2017 fires was incredibly devastated. And then they were followed by the 2019 Kincade Fire, and in 2020, the Walbridge and the Glass Fire, the Paradise Fire in 2018. Year after year, triggering that emotional fear,' said Lisa Carreño, CEO of United Way of Wine Country.
