Ronnie Lott, Byron Scott and More Evacuated Sonoma Hotel Before It Burned Down

Ronnie Lott, Byron Scott, Bret Saberhagen and Dan Jansen were among the athletes who escaped a fire at a hotel in Sonoma County, California, after it was evacuated, according to TMZ Sports.

Barry Bonds, Eric Gagne and Joe Carter were also among those who were in Santa Rosa and had to flee, per Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

The Fountaingrove Inn eventually burnt to the ground, according to a UCSF spokesperson. The athletes and many of the hotel's other guests were in town for the UCSF Medical Center Celebrity Golf Classic.

The tournament has been cancelled.

Per TMZ's report, "A witness at the hotel tells us the situation escalated so quickly, one guest jumped out of the hotel window and suffered a broken arm trying to escape."

That guest appears to have been UFC fighter Henry Cejudo, who Slusser reported broke his ankle after jumping from the second story.

"It was a crazy, surreal night," Saberhagen said, via Slusser. "I was out on the balcony at Mayacama when the power went out and sat down, and saw the moon come up, it was very nice. And then I saw the moon turn orange and it started getting lighter and lighter. I saw the fire coming over the ridge and I could hear propane and gas tanks popping."

Wildfires have spread rapidly through the Napa, Sonoma and Mendocino counties, with Governor Jerry Brown declaring a state of emergency in Napa and Sonoma, per Peter Fimrite Jill Tucker Kurtis Alexander and Demian Bulwa of SFGate.com.

At least one death has been reported in the wildfires. A growing number of houses and buildings have been destroyed in the disaster.
