cool The deritus of destruction

The Glass and the bigger Hennessey LNU fire have left a big cleanup in store for Napa. Combined, the 600 homes and 350 commercial buldings incl. well known wineries and resorts are a seroius mess,
Phase 1: the state dept of Toxic Substance Control removes pedticides, gasoline etc. 90% of this is done for the Henessey fire. The much bigger Phase 2 job: ash and debris is handled by the Fed Emergency Management Agency. Owners can do their own or 'go public' and turnover their insurence cleanup reciepts to th Governor's Office of Emergency Services...most owners will use the xpublic' option. The 2017 Nuns and Tubbs fires created 250,000 tons for landfills. (practise makes perfect!?)This will be even bigger. Waterways and drinking water are at risk and with temperatures in the 90's, the fire season ain't over yet! The Glass fire is in mopup with 95% containment, 196 households still evacuated. Power cutoffs are still in effect. The impact to the tourist-based winery/hotel economy, already at 25%
hotel occupancy due to Covid, has yet to be calculated; but wiill certainly diminish county coffers considerably; . and we're certainly overdue for another major earthquake!
