City and county officials strongly cautioned people to not return to evacuated zones. Sonoma County Sheriff Rober Giordano said in a press conference, “If you have a place to go, go; you don’t need to be here. I can’t stress this enough. If you’re in an evacuation zone, you cannot come home.”
Sonoma, where Stronetta Dairy (also known as Clover) resided, had been heavily evacuated throughout the week. Thankfully firefighters were able to build a contingent line and buffer areas around the community to prevent the fire from jumping over.
On the other side of the ridge, the city of Calistoga faced a giant threat.
