Northern California Wildfires: AAA Ramping Up Services For Members

BAY AREA, CA – As fires devastate Northern California, AAA, which provides insurance for homes and vehicles as well as roadside assistance, is ramping up services to its members in the area.

AAA Northern California, Nevada and Utah has stationed an emergency response trailer at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds at 1350 Bennett Valley Road in Santa Rosa.
