Fire is grappling the Wine country in California. Northern California’s wine country caught fire again Monday as strong winds fanned flames in the already parched region, damaging shelters and assisting overnight expulsion orders for more than 50,000 people. Residents of the Oakmont Gardens senior living facility in Santa Rosa mounted brightly lit city buses in the darkness overnight, some wearing bathrobes and using walkers. They wore masks to defend against the coronavirus as orange flames marked the dark sky. The fire threat forced Adventist Health St. Helena hospital to suspend care and transfer all patients elsewhere.

The fires that rose Sunday in the famed Napa-Sonoma wine country about 45 miles (72 kilometers) north of San Francisco came as the region nears the third anniversary of deadly wildfires that erupted in 2017, including one that ruined 22 people. Just a month ago, many of those same residents were removed from the path of a lightning-sparked fire that became the fourth-largest in state history.

“Our firefighters have not had much of a break, and these residents have not had much of a break,” said Daniel Berlant, assistant deputy director with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection stated.  More than 53,000 people in Sonoma and Napa counties have been evacuated in the latest inferno, one of 27 major fire clusters burning across the state. Many more have been warned that they might have to flee, even though officials expect winds to ease into Tuesday.
