There's a fire that follows firefighters home. It doesn't show up on a scanner call or a pager alert, and it doesn't get put out when the last hose is rolled up. It's the toxic residue: heavy metals, PFAS "forever chemicals," glyphosate, mold toxins, and combustion byproducts that soak into skin, gear, and lungs on every wildfire response, quietly accumulating over a career.

In 2025, Calpine celebrated a remarkable milestone: 65 years of commercial geothermal operations at The Geysers.

And 100% of proceeds go di

Its mission is simple: give donors the information they need to give wisely.

Wine Country to the Rescue just launched its official YouTube channel, and we couldn't be more excited to bring you inside the event and the mission like never before.
