Loma Fire in Napa County Destroys Residence

On November 3rd, dangerous weather conditions in Napa County evacuated 24 residences. There are no reported injuries from this fire, but one house was so completely consumed by flames that firefighters felt it was unsalvageable and focused their efforts elsewhere. 

The day before the fire broke out, the National Weather Service issued Lake County, Napa County, and the Sonoma County area a Fire Weather Watch predicting drier humidities and strong winds from the North. These weather conditions are firefighters' greatest fear, as winds from the North typically carry hotter and drier temperatures with them.
