What was expected to be another tough fire season in the Bay Area hasn't materialized.
In fact, if more wet weather arrives as expected Sunday, the Santa Rosa fire department is considering calling an end to fire season next week.
"On our way up Old Redwood Highway we diverted into this general location and we could tell the neighborhood is completely destroyed," he recalled. "We've had fires this season. We've had no shortage of fires but the fires were not only being controlled by how we changed our response to the incidents but being controlled by the proactive measures the residents have put into place," Lowenthal explained.
