In honor of all those who are called to serve their communities. Thank you to our first responders.

We could not do this work without the brave women and men who run toward emergencies without question.

We see you, and we are proud to serve alongside you.

Just because your winter clothes are coming out of storage doesn’t mean your go-bag should be going away with your summer clothes!

As winter approaches, your emergency go-bag may need a seasonal refresh. Consider adding extra emergency blankets, warm clothing, and other cold-weather essentials. If you live in a flood-prone area, make sure your supplies are stored somewhere safe from potential flooding, such as on a higher floor or in a waterproof dry bag.

Now is a great time to prepare for what winter may bring!Take a few minutes to check your go-bag and make sure you’re ready for the season ahead.
————————————————————

El hecho de que saques la ropa de invierno del trastero no significa que tu mochila de emergencia deba desaparecer junto con la ropa de verano.

A medida que se acerca el invierno, es posible que tu mochila de emergencia necesite una puesta a punto de temporada. Plantéate añadir mantas de emergencia adicionales, ropa de abrigo y otros artículos imprescindibles para el frío. Si vives en una zona propensa a las inundaciones, asegúrate de que tus provisiones estén guardadas en un lugar a salvo de posibles inundaciones, como en una planta más alta o en una bolsa impermeable.

¡Ahora es un buen momento para prepararse para lo que pueda deparar el invierno! Dedica unos minutos a revisar tu mochila de emergencia y asegúrate de que estás listo para la temporada que se avecina.

It is with profound sadness and heavy hearts that Sonoma County Fire District shares the passing of retired Battalion Chief, Michael Elson.

Chief Elson's legacy of service extended far beyond the fire service. Throughout his remarkable career, he served and built lasting relationships with Sonoma County Fire District, Windsor Fire, Sebastopol Fire, Bodega Bay Fire and the Sebastopol Police Department.

A respected leader, devoted father, trusted mentor, and true legend in the world of Special Operations, Mike dedicated his life to serving others. His knowledge, experience, leadership, and unwavering commitment to public safety left an extraordinary mark on the agencies, communities, and countless individuals fortunate enough to work alongside him. Mike never meet a dog, a fish or a helicopter he did not love and was the proudest of dads to his beautiful daughter.

Mike was more than a Battalion Chief. He was a mentor, a friend, and a brother to so many throughout the public safety community. His influence helped shape generations of firefighters and first responders, and his legacy will live on through those he trained, guided, and inspired.

On behalf of the entire Sonoma County Fire District family, we extend our deepest condolences to Mike's family, friends, and the many brothers and sisters in public safety who had the privilege of knowing him.

Rest easy, Chief Elson, your legacy will never be forgotten!

Memorial service arrangements are being finalized in coordination with the family. Information regarding services and opportunities to honor Battalion Chief Elson will be shared once confirmed.

🚨Sonoma County is now under Red Flag Warning 10/15-10/16🚨

Near-critical fire weather conditions are expected in the North and East Bay interior mountains Thursday to Saturday due to offshore winds overnight leading to possible extreme fire behavior and rapid rates of spread.

Relative humidities will be as low as 15-30% and wind speeds will be 15 to 25 miles per hour, gusting to 35 miles per hour.

Exercise fire weather safety, make an emergency plan, have multiple ways to receive alerts, and stay tuned to forecast updates! Remember: one less spark, one less fire!

—————————————————————————

🚨Algunas zonas del condado de Sonoma se encuentran actualmente en alerta meteorológica de incendios del 15 al 16 de octubre🚨

Se prevén condiciones meteorológicas de riesgo de incendio casi críticas en las montañas del interior del norte y el este de la Bahía entre el jueves y el sábado, debido a los vientos marinos durante la noche, lo que podría provocar un comportamiento extremo del fuego y una rápida propagación.

La humedad relativa descenderá hasta el 15-30 % y la velocidad del viento oscilará entre las 15 y las 25 millas por hora, con rachas de hasta 35 millas por hora.

¡Toma medidas de seguridad ante el riesgo de incendios, elabora un plan de emergencia, dispón de varios medios para recibir alertas y mantente al tanto de las actualizaciones de las previsiones! Recuerda: ¡una chispa menos, un incendio menos!

🚩 CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER! 🚩

Dry vegetation and strong winds will increase wildfire danger across parts of California starting early Thursday morning.

A Red Flag Warning is in effect:
🔹Portions of Lake County: 4 a.m. Thursday to 2 p.m. Thursday.

In portions of Lake County, a Fire Weather Watch will take effect late Thursday night, after the Red Flag Warning expires, and remain in effect through Friday afternoon.

Why does this matter? Dry vegetation can ignite easily, and strong winds can quickly spread flames into new areas, making wildfires harder to control and threatening nearby communities.

Avoid any and ALL activities that could spark a wildfire. Keep your go-bag ready, know at least two evacuation routes, and be prepared to leave if an evacuation is ordered.

📲 Get wildfire information and alerts directly from first responders with the AwareCA app: aware.ca.gov
🔗 Visit ReadyForWildfire.org to learn how to prepare.
