Sonoma County is opening an assistance center Monday. It will provide information like the permitting process for recovery and rebuilding and applications for food benefits and medical insurance. It's at the Healdsburg Community Center from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Wednesday, but that'll be extended if needed.

Lagunitas Brewing Company is raising money for Kincade fire victims, first responders and volunteer firefighters.

Over the next month it will offer a rotating selection of beer at its Petaluma taproom. Proceeds from their "Beers for a Cause" program go to the Petaluma People Services Center and the Human Society of Sonoma County.

Proceeds from their November 14 fundraiser will be donated to local organizations supporting first responders and volunteer firefighters.
