Pictures of Santa Rosa’s Coffey Park became some of the most memorable images from the devastating North Bay Wildfires in October: the middle class neighborhood lost more than 1,300 homes. As part of Forum’s series on rebuilding after the fires, we take a close look at Coffey Park as construction begins on the first house to be rebuilt since the Tubbs fire tore through the subdivision. We want to hear from residents of Coffey Park — do you plan to return? Why or why not?

Guests:

Robert Digitale, reporter, Santa Rosa Press Democrat

David Guhin, director, planning and economic development and assistant city manager, City of Santa Rosa

Jeff Okrepkie, president and chair, Coffey Strong; was a renter in Coffey Park and lost his home to the fire

Tricia Woods, lost her house in Coffey Park
