Lewis said he was serving as the triage dentist at intake and quickly identified the problem, said they could get it out quickly and told the man to stand by for an extraction, which Lewis later performed himself and said went "uneventfully."

Shortly after 10 p.m. Thursday, the Santa Rosa Fire Department began receiving multiple reports of a structure fire in the area of Cavendish Avenue and Amador Drive in western Santa Rosa. When crews arrived in the area, they found a fire outside a one-story residential structure.
