Fire followers are plants that can lie dormant for years underneath the dense foliage of other plant life, never exposed to the sun. But following the extreme clearance of a large fire, they suddenly find themselves with access to sunlight, allowing them to bloom after destruction. In fall and winter of 2017, fires ravaged the state of California, eating through homes, trees and brush ranging from Northern California to UCLA’s own doorstep. The effects were and continue to be debilitating for the victims. But like fire followers, UCLA community members impacted by the fires have begun to rise from the ashes, learning to operate under new light. This package explores the effects of the California wildfires in Sonoma County and Los Angeles on UCLA community members as well as possible solutions for fire preparation in the future.

Waters works for 10,000 Degrees, a nonprofit organization that provides students from low-income backgrounds with advising and financial aid management services to help them get into and through college. But in October, Waters and her coworkers refocused their efforts to aid Sonoma County community members affected by the Tubbs fire that struck that month, later recorded as the most destructive wildfire in California’s history. Despite a lack of communication and organization surrounding response and relief efforts, the 10,000 Degrees team witnessed responders and victims alike contributing whatever they could to the cause. Gracie Francisco, Hugo Que, Halea Waters and Saga Apostol Guedez work for a nonprofit organization called 10,000 Degrees, which provides college counseling and financial aid services to students from low-income backgrounds. But in October, the coworkers redirected their efforts to volunteer at evacuation sites responding to the Tubbs fire, which was later recorded as the most destructive wildfire in California’s history. Despite the heavy vegetation in Sonoma County, Waters said she thinks more priority is placed on earthquake preparedness than fire-response plans in the Sonoma education system. Any fire training residents do receive pertains more to short-term survival rather than long-term planning, Francisco added.
Starting Oct. 9, Waters, Francisco, Apostol Guedez and Que drove across the county to various evacuation and relief sites providing aid to masses from as little as 50 to as many as 200 and asked those in charge how they could help. In some cases, the group arrived with bulk items, such as diapers and water, only to find the centers were already equipped with the essentials. Relief workers instead sent them out to retrieve less practical but still crucial items, such as crossword puzzles to take the victims’ minds off the trauma. The Tubbs fire destroyed several neighborhoods the night that it burned throughout Santa Rosa, California.

More and more people began to file into the Denny's, and when residents of an upscale retirement home in the Bauers’ neighborhood arrived disheveled and without clothing, the pair began to worry. Still, Leslie Bauer said they clung to hope that their home would be spared and closely watched the media for any sort of confirmation.

Brock Bauer, a second-year financial actuarial mathematics student, came home to find that his house had been reduced to rubble by the fire. Only his family’s patio furniture survived; however, looters stole the unburned furniture before they could recover it. (Courtesy of Brock Bauer) Looters had run rampant over the neighborhoods, so security was strict. Bauer said he and his parents waited more than an hour in line to show their IDs to a National Guardsman before they could even set foot in their neighborhood – or at least what was left of it.
Jessica Link and Drew Johnson returned to their vineyards after the Tubbs fire to find that their home was still standing. The fire, which burned in early October, forced them to evacuate for 19 days. The vineyards and family homes on the property survived due to the cleared land and building techniques, but the wildlife and brush were burned in the fire. Researchers at the Pepperwood Preserve’s Dwight Center for Conservation Science typically use their 3,200 acre nature preserve as an educational tool for applied conservation, but the Tubbs fire reshifted their research when it blazed through the area. Now, Lisa Micheli, the president and CEO of the Pepperwood Foundation, and David Ackerly, a professor of integrative biology and researcher at the UC Berkeley who does field work at the Pepperwood Preserve, traveled to the Linked Vineyards to tour Link and Johnson’s land and better understand the impact of the Tubbs fire.
