“I don’t see us going up significantly over what we have right now.”Sonoma County bore the brunt of the fires, with 23 deaths and 3,000 homes destroyed in the city of Santa Rosa alone. Sheriff Rob Giordano said Wednesday that 50 people were still on the county’s missing persons list — split evenly between Santa Rosa and the rest of the county. Some others were placed on the list by people who hadn’t seen or heard from them in years. Napa County, which has counted seven deaths so far, has just four people left on its missing persons list, down from 14 on Monday. Gina Russell is looking for her son Christopher Le Loup, 26, who was staying with a friend in Santa Rosa just before the fires broke out Oct. 8.
