'I hate to say it, we’re experienced. You shouldn’t be experienced in something like this. But we are.'

They lost their home in the Northern California wildfires in 2017. Now, the Stauer family’s new home is being threatened by the Kincade fire and the family is once again forced to evacuate and bracing themselves for more loss.

Nick said he’ll never forget the moment he walked up to his previous house and found only a chimney and foundation left of his home. This time around, though, the family is more prepared. “I hate to say it, we’re experienced. You shouldn’t be experienced in something like this. But we are and we’ll take what we’ve learned and even next time around, there's things that we learned from this time that’ll be better. ... We’re veterans now,” said Nick.

Nick says they learned a lot of lessons and told their friends to video and record their house and store the footage in the cloud for insurance.“We are both Sonoma County natives,” said Stephanie. “We were born and raised in Petaluma, and this is the first time as this event is unfolding that we’ve seriously had the conversation of it might be time to really reconsider leaving here,” she said.
