As Bill Foley was watching his team lose its first hockey game Friday night, the Golden Knights majority owner also was watching the developments in Northern California.
Foley’s winery in Sonoma County was evacuated as wildfires in the region swept closer to his property.
“We evacuated Friday,” he said. “We’re monitoring the situation and hoping for the best. So far, we’re OK.”
Foley said one employee who lives in Santa Rosa lost his home in the fires, which have claimed 31 lives and aren’t close to being contained.
“It’s horrible what’s going on up there,” Foley said.
