County officials say the first phase of cleanup following the Sept. 2 wildfire is now complete. That phase focused on removing hazardous waste like propane tanks, batteries, and lead-based materials from burned properties.
"You'll see all around the destroyed structures green wattles or bags to help contain any runoff," said Dore Bietz, Assistant Director of Tuolumne County's Office of Emergency Services. "We're hoping with those measures taken, that we will decrease any particular runoff from the debris, the ash and burn piles."
"We're waiting on a process that will go through the state for a portion of phase two," Bietz said. "It does take a little time."
"My motorcycle melted. The safe was gone," Lindsay said, pointing to what's left of his home. "My wife lived here 70 years. She was born and raised here. She hasn't even been back to look at it. She's so devastated."
"I seen a crew come out, they were helping the neighbor sift through his, but we can do that ourselves," he said.
Tuolumne County is encouraging fire victims to stay in contact with their office by calling 209-533-6395. Donations to support victims can be made through the Sonora Area Foundation.
