 A firefighter sprays a hose at a home while the surrounding neighborhood burns. Seven months and one day after the October 2017 wildfires erupted in Sonoma County. We were 99% complete as of today, having removed 2.2 million tons of debris, which equates to nearly 314 square miles of fire area that's been cleared. A momentous update given the magnitude, complexity, and self-imposed timeframe for the debris removal process. From the beginning of this very catastrophic, very devastating event, the response has been a one team one fight effort. A similar accomplishment and announcement the very next day in Ventura County. The county, the city, the state, and the federal resources all coming together as a team and fighting back and the cooperation was seamless. We move more than 18,000 firefighters through our fantastic mutual aid system and all other kinds of assets to roll into and try to minimize the overall losses, but there were losses. The ferocity and unstoppable. Facebook handle typed as california underscore OES.
