As firefighters battled the infernos that have engulfed California's Sonoma wine region, Wade Hoefer surveyed the ruins of his painting studio at the Soda Rock Winery.
Hoefer is one of the victims of the Kincade Fire, a massive blaze that has forced the mandatory evacuation of nearly 200,000 people in Sonoma County, north of San Francisco, and consumed more than 75,000 acres (30,000 hectares) as of Tuesday.
More than 3,000 firefighters are battling the wildfire, which has been fueled by winds with gusts of up to 70 miles per hour (112 kilometers per hour).
