A 27-year-old father from California died on Sunday after enduring a fatal asthma attack caused by the wildfires which left him brain dead.

Joshua Hoefer lost his ability to breathe when the attack came on Wednesday night while he and his girlfriend of seven years, Cierra Lopez, were packing up their belongings so they could leave their Santa Rosa home. 

They were planning to leave the next day, and Cierra told DailyMail.com that she now wonders if things might have turned out differently for her family had they left sooner. 

Joshua’s story illustrates the speed with which the wildfires, which have now claimed at least 40 lives in California, can devastate entire communities.
