Sonoma County is set to receive some federal aid to cover costs of the 2019 Kincade Fire. Congressmen Mike Thompson and Jared Huffman have announced that the county will be getting $2.6-million from FEMA to cover costs connected with the fire. Most of it will be reimbursing the county for the 21 shelters that were opened, as well as funding to cover the Emergency Operating Center. As part of a statement, Congressman Huffman said “It’s a welcome relief to see this funding from FEMA to support the shelters and emergency centers that did – and will continue to – save lives.” The Kincade Fire was the largest wildfire in California in 2019, burning over 77,000 acres, threatening over 90,000 structures and causing widespread evacuations throughout Sonoma County.
