Five years after wildfire ravaged the California wine country city of Santa Rosa, only mud and a concrete pad remain atop a hill where a fire station once sat.
Fire Chief Scott Westrope, who lost his own home in the fire, said a priority was rebuilding Fire Station 5, which burned to the ground in the inferno that wiped out more than 5,600 structures and killed 22 people.
"FEMA's expertise over the years has gotten good at anticipating and responding to hurricanes, floods and tornadoes," said U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla, a California Democrat. "Wildfire, not so much." In Paradise, California, where 19,000 structures were destroyed and 85 people killed in a 2018 wildfire, FEMA worked with residents to improve the agency's understanding of fire-specific needs such as the removal of hazardous trees, said the city’s Recovery and Economic Development Director Colette Curtis.
The Padilla bill would allow the agency to reimburse state and local agencies who put firefighting resources in place in advance of a fire earlier than they do now.
