Pickett Fire
Standing With Napa County Families and Businesses
The fire may be out, but recovery can take much longer. If the 2025 Pickett Fire affected your home, property, vineyard, or livelihood, you deserve clear answers and support you can trust.
Wildfire Strong is here to listen, help you understand your rights, and explore your options for moving forward.
About the Pickett Fire
The Pickett Fire began on August 21, 2025, near Pickett Road north of Calistoga in Napa County. According to CAL FIRE, it burned 6,820 acres and was fully contained on September 7, 2025. The agency lists debris burning as the cause.
For those affected, the impact can extend beyond the flames. Smoke damage, cleanup expenses, interrupted work, and uncertainty about insurance can leave families and businesses facing difficult decisions long after the immediate danger has passed.
You do not have to navigate those questions alone.
If You Were Affected, You May Have Questions
Every loss deserves a closer look. Whether you own a home, rent, operate a business, or manage agricultural property, our team can help evaluate the circumstances of your loss.
A case review may be helpful if you experienced:
-
Property damage: Damage to a home, business, vehicle, equipment, fencing, landscaping, or personal belongings.
-
Smoke, soot, or ash damage: Contamination requiring inspection, cleaning, restoration, or replacement.
-
Vineyard or agricultural losses: Damaged vines, crops, irrigation systems, or equipment, including concerns about smoke-affected grapes.
-
Evacuation expenses: Temporary lodging, transportation, and other additional living costs.
-
Lost income or business interruption: Disruptions to operations, canceled bookings, or other documented financial losses.
-
Physical injuries: Fire-related injuries or smoke exposure requiring medical attention.
-
Insurance difficulties: Questions about coverage or claims that have been delayed, denied, or underpaid.
These circumstances do not automatically establish a claim. We can help you understand which losses may support recovery based on the facts of your situation.
How a Wildfire Attorney Can Help
Recovery comes with enough demands. Understanding your legal options should not add to the uncertainty.
A wildfire attorney can help organize documentation, evaluate insurance issues, investigate potential responsibility, and determine whether a claim against a responsible party may be available.
Our approach starts with understanding what happened to you - and what you need help addressing next.
Take the Next Step Toward Recovery
You do not need to have every receipt, estimate, or answer before reaching out. A conversation can help you understand what information matters and where to begin.
