LIVERMORE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Comcast has opened 12,000 XFINITY WiFi hotspots throughout Sonoma and Napa Counties in Northern California to help residents and emergency personnel stay connected during the devastating Kincade Fire. Comcast is opening its hotspots for free use by anyone who needs them – including non-XFINITY customers.

• For a map of Xfinity WiFi hotspots, which are located at small businesses and in outdoor locations such as shopping districts and parks, please visit www.xfinity.com/wifi.
• Once at a hotspot, select the “xfinitywifi” network name in the list of available hotspots and then launch a browser.
• Xfinity Internet customers can sign in with their username and password, and they will be automatically connected at Xfinity WiFi hotspots in the future.
• Non-Xfinity Internet subscribers should visit the “Not an Xfinity Internet Customer” section on the sign-in page to get started. Non-customers will be able to renew their complimentary sessions every two hours.
