A fire chief in Northern California lost his home to the wildfires raging through the region while evacuating his neighbors from the blaze as it tore through his Santa Rosa, California, neighborhood.
“He had just gotten his family in the car and watched them leave, then went down the street, knocking on doors, evacuating his neighbors when his home was hit,” Linn Walsh tells People about Mill Valley Fire Chief Tom Welch.
Welch continued working another 14 hours when Walsh, who works as the assistant to Mill Valley’s city manager, finally tracked him down on the phone late Monday night.
