The Tiny Radio Station Relaying Critical Kincade Fire Information in Indigenous Languages

from The Bay · host KQED

During the 2017 North Bay fires, bilingual radio station KBBF in Santa Rosa became a lifeline for many Spanish speakers in Sonoma County. At the time, emergency alerts and information were poorly translated, if at all. Now, KBBF has been filling another gap in the emergency response to the Kincade Fire by interpreting information on air in even more languages. Guests: Maribel Merino, Gervacio Peña Lopez, and Xulio Soriano, volunteers at KBBF Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
