When he said to his wife in response to her asking “What do I pack?” With his reply being “Anything you can’t buy on Amazon” such a short statement but powerful

[@NoPitBullLeftBehind]

I remember when I was evacuating from the Ranch Fire I ran into my bedroom and looked around really quick and I asked myself "am I ok with losing everything in here" and I said yes. Then I grabbed my dogs medication and ran out to my car. In my car was my disabled mom and three dogs in the front, and 6 cats in the trunk. Two of the dogs were not cat friendly. I couldn't pack anything because the crates took up all the room. I also tried to chase a stray cat and another cat my stupid neighbors left behind, but I couldn't catch him. Thankfully my home survived, but I kept thinking of the two cats I couldn't catch. It sucked.

To me the definition of a hero is someone that puts others above themself no matter what the cost. And clearly there’s many featured in this documentary. It’s heartbreaking to see how much devastation has been caused for the last decade and only getting worse. I know one thing. It’s up to us to demand change. We have to pull together just like the communities did that experienced these fires. Unite and demand change. It’s our future on the line.

I live just 40 miles north of Santa Rosa, I remember the morning this fire started I woke up to my mom sobbing and when I asked what was wrong she pointed at our back window and said look, I remember seeing the entire north Ukiah Valley bellowing in smoke & flames, turning to the TV to see the news broadcast of Santa Rosa looking bomb shelled..I think back on this event every time fire season comes around and I ALWAYS have a go bag of my most important items on standby just incase..

[@MendoboysTV]

The Mendocino Complex & Tubbs Fire definitely changed my life..

[@ShyGuy83]

I remember very well that whole thing started about two days after my sister and brother in-law got married. After returning my brother in-law's rental tuxedo, I went to get something to eat for lunch at Foster's Freeze in Campbell, CA and seeing a large amount of smoke in the distance and then seeing a news report on the television at the restaurant about the wild fire.

[@catherinepoloynis]

This is a great documentary, and an education. May our memories never fade, and never forget to be grateful to the firemen and police, and to everyone from bus drivers to national guard, who helped others survive this event.

Amazing story thankyou for making this film. Hats off to Santa Rosa.

[@SRSOS]

It is imperative that we restore the ancient redwood rain forest that once stretched from Santa Cruz to the Oregon border. This was a man-made disaster and we can fix it.

[@williamhiles7404]

Those Sequoia Sempervirons, the most majestic tree on the planet, need tons of rainfall, steady and reliable, every year to grow and mature into the giants that they become. Only those mature trees have the properties that redwoods were in such demand for lumber, which their ability to resist fire. A lot of what is called 'old growth' were/are over 3000 years old. I agree that it would be great for them to be repopulated in their original range. I saw a PBS docu about them, and it said their original range was from a little south of Big Sur to about 20 miles north of the Oregon/Cali border; in the docu they hike from the border in Oregon, and the last redwoods they could find was 20 miles north. All these fires have been terrible; my town burned to the ground in 2018, and then this fire in 2019. In the '90s I used to go to Cotati and I always liked going to Santa Rosa, it seemed like a nice town. I always liked looking at the Victorian homes that were still there and how well maintained they were. Of course, they were built from redwoods. Sorry, I didn't mean to be so long winded. I haven't watched these videos of my town burning down in years, and I never watched anything about Santa Rosa. I know how the one lady felt, I lost everything too; I was disabled and healing from major surgery at the time, so all I could do was get a few small things and myself out. Still haven't/won't ever recover. I hope all the others have. Peace. LedHed Pb 207.20 🎶 🎸 🎹

[@jasonperkins1654]

The sequoia is meant to withstand fire. Yes. The problem is man made. Humans rush to put fires out and stop nature from taking its course. If the forest were cleaned and the under brush and dead fall were allowed to burn the fire would not be so intense and burn into the canopy killing the trees. Your right about this being man made but I'm guessing nothing the way you intend your comment

Im still awestruck years later watching this documentary. I lived in and around Santa Rosa and know Sonoma County and the surrounding areas very well. It was so shocking to remember the areas in Santa Rosa affected and destroyed. I was frequently travelling around and it is so powerful to know what is now destroyed and changed forever. It was powerful to watch online from Twin Falls, Idaho as this was going on. My youngest daughter escaping where she had lived in Santa Rosa uo to Cloverdale. Areas like Wikiup and Larkfield and Fountaingrove wiped out. It still blows my mind everytime I watch this!

[@sfgiantsgirl6]

Very well done, I only wish they would have spoken to EMT's paramedics, docs, nurses. Evacuating those patients. Journeys end is right next door to Kaiser. Staff, loading patient into their private cars, while oxygen tanks exploding, thinking they were going to die etc. And Kudos to Santa Rosa Memorial who had to absorb so many patients from Sutter, and Kaiser with a skeleton crew. Other than that, the video was amazing. Very touching.

It took everything it could and we as a community stepped up. THAT is what should be remembered. And what about the name Stephanie denotes a man? Dummy.

I went through the dispatch logs for the Santa Rosa Police Department during the fire…..by them selves they conduct more then 100 rescues with in a 24hr period.

[@briankistner4331]

Over the last decade with wildfires sweeping thru cites big and small, it obvious urban firefighters should be, if not already, trained on how to fight a wildfire. What I'm told is a wildfire is a completely different creature than fires in urban cites. On the flip side, the wildfire crews and the hotshots need to be trained regarding urban firefighting. These days the two go hand n hand.

[@babybrat2958]

This fire is a wildland urban interface Fire. This fire was burning under extreme conditions and exhibiting extreme fire behavior……you can not fight this fire…..the only thing that can be done is help evacuate and or rescue citizens and structure protection as resources allow…..similar to the Oakland Hills Firestorm 1991. The only reason the fire stopped is because the wind died down…..just like with the Oakland hills firestorm.

[@stephaniemccracken1324]

I remember the day before I had told my husband that high winds were expected (he worked in traffic control at the time) and that he would probably be called out. We are just West of Llano Road and I didn't hear winds and he didn't get called in. Fast forward to later in the night and my daughter called me after I'd been asleep for hours. Fire was burning into Santa Rosa. I jumped out of bed and ran to my back porch. At first I couldn't see it because of a structure on my neighbors property, but when I moved a couple of feet I was like 'Oh, my God'. I ran back into the house and turned on the TV. The first thing I saw was Kaiser being evacuated. Scared the crap out of me. We talked about trying todeal with our farm and domestic animals and then just worked the plan. Fortunately, we didn't need it in 2017, but we activated it in 2019 and only lost one rabbit. God bless all the first responders and support people who helped us get through this. Until you've been through it you have no idea what heroes they are.

The K mart store was in a small shopping center, with no nearby fuel source and 500 feet from the subdivision of homes. The fire break was 450 feet of pavement, with 12 lanes of freeway and a frontage road. The entire complex was fully engulfed before strike teams arrived.

Wake up people these houses aren't for the victims of the fires as for the developers they're the ones making the money off the houses this ain't about relocating tombs of the fire no way this is about developers making money pure greed and evil don't be snowballing by this b******* documentary what a bunch of crap.

These disgusting cowards hit in their offices we went to their offices to find out how the hell a town with 10 different fire departments let a whole housing division burn to the ground now they make this b******* documentary telling you what a great job and humanitarian bulshit they did they didn't do so much as even handsome One a donut I was there I know I'm sorry I can't let this go I was there I was there I know what happened and this sure isn't what this documentary is showing the real f****** heroes are the victims of the fires it picked up from scratch and moved back into the world with no help from any of these people. The reason I remember is cuz I could never forget the true horror watching everything you work for your whole life and your family's life burnt to the ground with nothing left and no real answers to how and why it all happened in the first place these people knew the fires were coming in the first place that's why they all hit in their offices locked out the doors and kept armed guards in front of the doors that's a hundred percent REAL

[@stephaniemccracken1324]

Umm...I seem to recall the shelter at the fair grounds was much longer than two weeks. How many people and animals did you get out? I can appreciate you lost everything. So did many. But to blame first responders for your loss is wrong. Those men and women were heroes that night. Tell me what event, exactly, was going on when our county was burning? I call bull on your claim. I was off work for a week because of smoke and I was in West County. There is no way the Fair Grounds didn't cancel events.

And people wonder why God let's this kind of stuff happen. The living that was being done before was a 1/2 life at best compared to what it became after. It's a repeated story in every single disaster, tornadoes, fires, floods, earthquakes... you name it... the exact thing happens. Communities come together, people remember why they are here, for other people, computers, games, cars, hobbies all of that it a distraction. Government agency's help but the nothing can stop a 100 thousands people, regular people, coming together, putting another person first. Nothing can beat it, stop it. Police officers, firefighters, city workers they ask become just a regular citizens, doing what every single person is doing. Don't ask stupid questions about God's motive, people are always His greatest treasure, He aims to make sure we see why. So when, like His Son, who had no place to lay his head as a "home" we can see we are often poorest when we have material security and things. Home is where your head falls at the end of a day giving up your life for someone else. Don't ask the stupidest question ever uttered "why God?" Listen to these people, if lives were lost, they were His to bring home, and far more live than die, every single time. People who "should" have died, didn't. Don't ask, that bizarrely ludicrous question. Ask instead: how can we get to this place without a disaster? That's a much better question.
