One week after a family in Woodland nearly perished in a fire, they welcomed newborn twins to the world, and they are now being helped by their community as they rebuild. Adi Komaisavai gave birth on the afternoon of July 20 to babies Helen and Tasi at Sutter Davis Hospital in Davis. Eggs from an invasive mosquito found in Roseville “Helen came first and Tasi came second, three hours later,” Komaisavai told FOX40 News. She and her husband now have four children, two girls and two boys, as they seek to rebuild their home, which was damaged by flames along with three other homes.
