The recent North Bay wildfires burned an estimated 200,000 acres and 6,000 homes in Sonoma, Napa, Mendocino and Lake Counties. The fires displaced thousands of residents and caused literally billions of dollars worth of damage to the area, making it the costliest fire in California's history.
A new coalition called Band Together Bay Area is doing quite a lot to help out the area, including a benefit concert on November 9. The concert will take place at AT&T Park and will feature Metallica, Dave Matthews, G-Eazy, and other currently unannounced artists. 100% of ticket sales going to the Tipping Point Emergency Relief Fund, and the "best seats in the house" will be donated free of charge to first responders, volunteers, and families impacted by the firestorm.
