Hawk's TikTok mutual Jessica Kent posted a video from her home in Utah showing ash raining down from wildfires burning in the area. Her video brought back a night Hawk has never forgotten.
In September 2017, Hawk was living in San Francisco on the corner of Haight and Stanyan, about a block and a half from where Haight Street dead ends into Golden Gate Park. He woke up at 3:30 in the morning smelling smoke, checked the entire building and the yard, saw nothing burning, and walked out front to find ash falling from the sky like snow. The fire was the Tubbs Fire in Santa Rosa, roughly 60 miles north, and it was moving fast. Hawk's brother and his partner were living a few miles west of Santa Rosa at the time.
With his brother's phone off for the night, Hawk spent hours unable to reach him, watching news coverage and tracking the fire's movement online. When his brother finally called back around 6:30 in the morning, Hawk told him to look out the window. The sky was black. From San Francisco, Hawk spent the rest of that morning navigating his brother and his partner westward toward Highway 1 and safety, with roads closing in every other direction. Their home was never reached by the fire.
Hawk closes with the story of a couple who had only enough time to grab their dogs, go to their backyard, and get into their swimming pool while watching their house and everything around them burn. He also addresses PG&E's responsibility for starting the fire, and the added insult of ratepayers now being billed to fund the underground power line work that should have prevented it.
