year since fires tore through santa rosa leaving thousands without a home.... and now a santa rosa veteran who lost his home in last year's firestorm is rebuilding and plans to move back home next year. kron 4's j-r stone has his story.
4:49 am
imagine living in a home that looked like this one afternoon and looked like this the next. that's exactly what brian beaudoin and his wife dealt with last year in santa rosa when the tubbs fire destroyed their home.that night we watched the flames come up and over the hill didn't realize how devastating it was going to become because we were the first wave. the first six to eight hours.fast forward a year later...beaudoin and his family have come a long way. his future house, which is located in a neighborhood off of fountaingrove parkway, is actually starting to resemble a home. it could be done by early next year. as to what beaudoin was able to salvage... the stuff you didn't want that is the stuff that survives the stuff that makes it. anything you really want it's gone for some reason some crappy little tea cup that you got that you didn't know what to do with. that made it.brian says that telling his story has become sort of therapudic to him. he likes to laugh and joke about
4:50 am
his situation but admits that what happened was tough.it was a bit traumatic. i tell people it's almost like loosing a family member cause yeah it's just stuff and it's a house but it's everything you had all your memories tapes and pictuers...all that stuff is gone.in this quadcopter 4 video you can see that most of the debris in beaudoin's neighborhood has been cleared but most of the lots remain empty. it's harder to build in this fountaingrove area. the houses that burned were origionally custom made and more permits are required because of the hills. as to
4:51 am
his most cherished items.....brian says his baseball card collection that included micky mantle and willie mays burned in the fire. perhaps the hardest loss are the items linked to his time serving our country in the navy.used to be in the submarines so i lost my sword and everything associated with my submarines that i was on. you can't replace that stuff i had plaques signed by ronald regan and captain...never get those back.but brian and his family are healthy and excited about what's to come in their new home.either you let it consume you turn it into something that is all negative or you just go well life gives you lemons and let's go make some lemonade. i don't know what other options you have.

first wave. the first six to eight hours.fast forward a year later...beaudoin and his family he come a long way. his future house, which is located in a neighborhood off of fountaingrove parkway, is actually starting to resemble a home. it could be done by early next year. as to what beaudoin was able to salvage... the stuff you didn't want that is the stuff that survives the stuff that makes it. anything you really want it's gone for some reason some crappy little tea cup that you got that you didn't know what to do with. that made it.brian says that telling his story has become sort of therapudic to him. he likes to laugh and joke about his situation but admits that what happened was tough.it was a bit traumatic. i tell people it's almost like loosing a family member cause yeah it's just stuff and it's a house but it's everything you had
