SONOMA COUNTY – Cal Fire said three of the top five deadliest wildfires in our state's history happened since 2017, including the Tubbs Fire that tore through Santa Rosa neighborhoods. An effort to underground power lines aims to protect the area from future fires.
As part of its promise after sparking deadly wildfires across the state, Pacific Gas & Electric is undergrounding two miles of lines that will cross Porter Creek Road and feed Safari West. "I had some close friends that lost their homes, that just recently want to get their homes rebuilt. It's tough. It's tough seeing what some of those individuals had to go through in the process. To me that's why this is so important," Richardson told KPIX 5.
