 What you are hearing is the sound of progress. Over 103,000 tons of debris has already been removed from homes burned in the October wildfires. To put that in perspective, 103,000 tons is the equivalent of the weight of a modern day naval aircraft carrier. In neighborhoods like Coffee Park, for example, streets are virtually blocked by the numbers of trucks and excavators hauling debris out of the area. The household hazardous removal, well ahead of schedule, over 7,000 sites now complete that's upwards of 95% of all lots. Already we've shown you progress and cleanup in Lake, Mendocino, Napa and Sonoma counties. Properties that have already been cleared now have a checklist in front of them. The goal? Check all of these boxes so that the lot can be turned back over to the homeowner. One of those boxes to check, soil sampling. We mix them all up once we pull them off each line, put them in our sample jars and then send them off to the lab. The harsh reality is the lush green hills of Napa and Sonoma counties are now a patchwork of scars from the October wildfires. Signs of destruction will be visible for years to come. But now it's a race against Mother Nature to prepare as many of these hillsides as possible to reduce potential debris flows. Some of the most visible here near the borders of Napa and Sonoma counties. These burn scars a visible reminder as to just how destructive these wildfires were.
