Paperback
Publication Date: 04/10/2019
The night of October 8, 2017, the wind howled, the land was arid, and humidity was low. At11:36 PM a spark from a downed power line hit dry vegetation and started a small fire. It grewinto a raging, racing inferno that would consume a massive part of a small town in northernCalifornia. The fire would forever change the lives of the people of Redwood Valley and theirneighbors in nearby communities. Nine lives were lost, and hundreds of structures destroyed.This became known as the Mendocino Lake Complex Fire, or Redwood Valley Fire.During and following the fire, what stood out were peoples' stories of their escapes, sorrows,miracles, and blessings: Friends lost; pets found; midnight drives on windy dirt roads through asmoky haze; flowers blooming in the ash-everyone had a memory to share. Awakening toWildfire captures dozens of these stories and presents them to you in written and visual mediums.Through this we hope to convey an idea of the magnitude and key moments of the fire, as well asthe strength, courage, and resilience of those who survived it.
