Sparked by electrical transmission lines and fueled by 100-mile-per-hour winds racing across the Mayacamas Mountains, wildfire ravaged thousands of acres and hundreds of buildings for seven days. Empirical weather analysis and fire behavior forecasting coupled with heroic firefighting made this a model for responding to wildfires that continue to threaten California. It has become apparent that we must document and share what occurred to better prepare future generations. This is the story of The Kincade Fire.

Sonoma County experienced several destructive wildfires starting the night of October 8, 2017. The wildfires included the Tubbs Fire, Nuns Fire and Pocket Fire. This was the first time Sonoma county faced a significant loss of life and homes from wildfires. It was unknown if these fires were a rare event.

In October 2019, Sonoma county experienced another wildfire, the Kincade Fire, which ignited on October 23, 2019, and was contained on November 6, 20 19. Sadly, many homes burned and a record number of people were evacuated, but there was no loss of life.

It has become apparent that we must document and share what occurred to better prepare future generations.
