Kaiser hospital in Santa Rosa open after fire closure

Kaiser Permanente hospital in north Santa Rosa, evacuated and closed by the threat of the massive Kincade fire that still burns near Mount St. Helena, has reopened and is accepting patients. Kaiser and Sutter Santa Rosa Medical Center were both affected by large-scale evacuations that put more than a third of Sonoma County residents under orders to leave homes in the path of the 121-square-mile fire during hurricane-force winds that public safety officials feared could drive the blaze into Santa Rosa and west county.
