Wildfires, an elderly couple hiding in their wine cellar bust dies together in California
News24xx.com - The victim of fire forest in California was left the sad memories for their relative. Like the story of Arthur and Suiko Grant. Arthur, a retired airline captain, was 95, while his Japanese American wife Suiko was 75.
They spent most of their lives together in their hilltop house in Santa Rosa, California.
Situated on Mark West Springs Road, the elderly couple’s home of over 45 years is also where they spent their last day together when the Tubbs Fire reached their house on Monday.
The couple’s daughter, Trina Grant, told the New York Times that her parents did not have the chance to evacuate as they were sleeping when the wildfire reached the property.
“My dad’s best friend was calling and calling my parents, but they were completely asleep,” she was quoted as saying. “By the time my dad finally picked up and his friend said ‘You’ve got to get out,’ it was probably already too late.”
The couple had taken their small pet dog before seeking refuge in the wine cellar of their home as the wildfire engulfed thousands of structures in the city on that day.
Trina shared that the couple maintained a hobby vineyard and numerous fruit trees on the property before it was burned down by the wildfire.
Still burning in several counties in Northern California, the fire has so far incinerated over 2,800 in the city of Santa Rosa alone. With 5% of the city’s housing stock destroyed, the city’s damage was estimated to be at least $1.2 billion.
