About 100 Sonoma County residents practiced fleeing from a wildfire Saturday morning. It was just a drill but they all knew the threat is all too real.
The 2018 Camp Fire wiped out the town of Paradise and became America's most deadly wildfire in the last century. When the fire began tearing through the city, even those familiar with the area became lost in the terror and confusion.
"That's still very well in the front of everybody's minds in these communities when I go out and talk with them -- is that reality, that possibility is there," said Jeff DuVall, the county's emergency management deputy director. "It's definitely scary," said volunteer fire chief Steve Krausmann. "During the LNU Lightning Complex fires, we had fire on the west side of Cazadero, we had fire on the east side of Cazadero and one wind shift and it would have come right down into the canyon."
