Would someone please fill me in, since its not readily apparent by the news sources, but what exactly is burning?
Is this grasslands? Forests? Scrub? Fresh tar?
fwdude, here is Dailymail article which seems to have a lot of pictures, some info...Seems Sonoma was hit hard...the town...lost Hilton, Sonoma HOtel, K-mart,Applebees, etc...so those are town areas...

All I saw were structures engulfed, not the general lay of the land and its flora.
But the map was horrific in the extent of the fires. I found that more shocking than the photos!!!
Sonoma is the county; but it’s a small town, Santa Rosa is the largest town and was hit hard, It’s where I live
