SONOMA COUNTY, CA — The County of Sonoma, the Town of Windsor and the cities of Santa Rosa, Cloverdale and Healdsburg reached a collective $31 million settlement with PG&E for damages from the Kincade Fire, the entities announced Wednesday.
The settlement is for damages to public and natural resources caused by the fire that started Oct. 23, 2019, at the Geysers Geothermal Field northeast of Geyserville. The Kincade Fire resulted in the largest evacuation effort in Sonoma County history, forcing more than 200,000 to flee their homes as more than 77,750 acres burned and 374 homes and other structures were destroyed.
