Many residents return in Santa Rosa as wildfire containment grows
Residents in part of Santa Rosa were allowed to re-enter their neighborhoods Saturday as firefighters approached full containment on a series of blazes that caused mass destruction across Northern California. The recent rain that swept through the fire zones of Napa and Sonoma counties — more than six-tenths of an inch — gave firefighters a boost in holding containment lines. Full containment for all of the fires is expected by Wednesday. Residents in hard-hit Fountaingrove in Santa Rosa were allowed to go home Saturday morning, while those who lived in Coffey Park were also allowed to survey the damage in their area.
