The Shady fire erupted and quickly moved toward Santa Rosa, barreling between the Northern California burn scars of 2017's Tubbs and Nuns fires.
For much of Sunday, the big worry was the Glass fire, which was burning through Napa County.But just before sunset, a new blaze — the Shady fire — emerged in a dangerous spot to the west and began barreling toward Sonoma County and Santa Rosa.But those burn scars turned out to provide little protection.the TubbsThose fires caused massive damage and loss of life, but they left an area between them that did not burn.
That gap gave the Shady fire a path into Santa Rosa.Two other nearby fires that erupted over the weekend — the Glass and Boysen — have since been grouped along with the Shady fire and labeled as the “Glass incident” by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. That combined conflagration had burned 11,000 acres with no containment as of Monday morning, according to Cal Fire, and it was threatening 8,543 structures.
