KCBS duPont-Columbia Awards 2019 Entry: Wine Country Wildfires
KCBS Radio's entry for the 2019 duPont-Columbia Awards: a compilation of our Breaking News coverage of the biggest California story of 2017, the devastating Wine Country Wildfires that claimed 44 lives and destroyed almost 10,000 homes across five counties of the north San Francisco Bay Area. It was the most destructive complex of fires in California history. Our team of reporters fanned out across the region and braved harrowing conditions to cover this breaking story for two full weeks, with months of follow-up reporting since. Their work has already been honored with awards by the Radio Digital TV News Association, the National Headliner Awards, and the Associated Press TV Radio Association, including the national Edward R. Murrow Award.
