Paradise wasn't the only town that was nearly wiped out. Eighty percent of Magalia is gone and most of Concow is gone along with other outlining smaller towns. It was far more than 27K evacuees. There was approximately 45k people that evacuated. Many of us were on our own. No one came to help us in Magalia. There was no phone calls, no news reports and nothing on the radio. Butte County failed us all. If my daughter didn't call that morning, my family and I wouldn't be here today. It will be one year on the 8th since the fire, but it is remembered as if it was yesterday. We no longer live in California.

Thank you for sharing this. I have been living 500 miles away while my husband is living on our property in Paradise in a 5th wheel while dealing with our Insurance nightmare. It is good to see what is going on.

God is with you...great job❤🕊🙏

Widen the exit roads, cut down a bunch of the trees, and bury all the power lines.

I perfectly understand what he says me and my family been trying to get back to paradise and this November will make it 3 years and a lot of friends and family think we're crazy to move back where it was just devastated but like what he said it's HOME

Such a sad situation. Woody Culleton my heart goes out to you.

beautiful sight seeing deer walking through

this is one fire that will leave a painful but powerful reminder in only the people but on the land itself but much like the earth around them, even they are rebuilding and starting anew the circle of life continues however slow it may be

"I'm home that simple" how wholesome :,)

God bless Woody and Paradise! Thanks for the update.

I went through the tubbs fire and I also have that ptsd feeling every time another fire starts and just recently I got evacuated from the Kincade fire

Love our Paradise.

I feel really upset about this fire. I didn't go through the pain of losing a home or a family member, but it saddens me to hear about what happened. I live a hour away from Paradise and was still effected by the smoke. I had to even stay home from school because it was so horrible. As I said I live a HOUR away from Paradise. I can't even imagine what these people went through. And to think it was all because of an electrical fire transmission (power lines)?

Use to Love living in Cali. Get out while you can.

best. best yet overview. thank you.

A FIRE IS SO DEVASTATING AND SHOCkS AND HURT'S YOU SO BAD GOD BLESS THESR PEOPLE AND MAY THEY FIND PEACE AND SECURITY

Still so heartbreaking.

I'm from Paradise and was lucky enough to escaped during the evacuation. I will say that most of those trees In Paradise need to be cut down because they are badly damaged by the fire or dead and at risk to fall due to the California bark beetle. It's a good thing that thousands of more trees are coming down. It should have happened YEARS ago so Paradise wouldn't have burned. But unfortunately it did. I've lived in Paradise all 34 years of my life and can honestly say that I'm surprised that a fire of the "Camp Fire" magnitude didn't have years ago. I'm currently living in Oroville and 1 day plan on moving back. Only issue is that there's no place's to live.(if you're wanting to rent). or if you're looking to buy, there's not much to choose from since most houses that survived either have smoke damage, or dead trees yet to be taken down. or is the only house that survived on their block. Like who want's to be the only house with no neighbors? Paradise will rebuild, and repopulate. It will take years, but I'm looking forward to it. My hope is there will be more jobs coming to this community, and that with all the trees being cut down that there will be more land to develop on for more houses and new roads.

GOOD LUCK! Where there are people with will and strong sense of destiny! They will make it! And also draw in new people with a ven stronger spirit! Best wishes and blessings for all and everybody! As well as in memoriam of all those who lost their lives, my Dear paradise people near and far!

I would love to move to paradise I know it's had a bad past but it's beautiful

I am going to visit this place soon.

Direct Energy Weaponry was to blame for the Magalia, Camp, Paradise and plenty other surrounding small towns fires and beyond in my eyes!

A lot more than 86 died - I hope they are building another route out of town.

Need a tile roof and a large fire break around that house.

One year ago today. What a terrible loss.

w0w, what amazing loyalty and resilience some ppl have. Good for them, I wouldn't stay....but that's just me. I lived up state in Shasta County, left a little over a yr before Whiskey Town was burnt off the map, just about around the bend to my little shack in the field. Redding scared me, seeing smoke-filled air every summers closing. Had to leave.

I'm guessing many people moved to Oregon, specifically Central Oregon.

Born and Raised a CA native, these fires have been crazy for sure. We have had in the Last Yr, Carr Fire in my parts, all of the fires have been very bad for us. Sure, we need to work on our state management on fire prevention, but, object; Trump on want to cut back Fire Relife funds. I support Inquiry, but Nancy and rest of our representatives, need focus on fight here at moment. Keep at it, put us 1st then the Inquiry. Thanks. Just my own opinion that's all, no wonder why North CA wants to break away and become State of Jefferson. Lol....

How about building houses like real houses out of stonewalls and concrete instead of press chipboard? Fire or no fire the shell would be still there. Ready for a renovation. Only problem can be the firefighting water, but since there isn't any.. This is how we do it here in Germany. Looks like the haven't learned a thing.

Start learning to use your hands to build hire a contractor off the grid maybe to help there’s a lot of friendly people off grid it will be a hefty price but off grid is the way to go now where that’s up to you , do some traveling find some small land good luck .

People are selling their cleaned lots for as little as $6000. There are still A LOT for sale. Shows u how many don’t want to come back

will cut the trees and make a house a wooden house what are you waiting 🎶🎶🎵🎶🎶

DEW

I am going to move there asap

... next stop would be 👉🏻 Gulag!

He hit the nail on the head. We r damaged im angry that my son die of lung cancer recently. I blame PGE. I’m the only one left of my family here. They moved & died. AND, PGE sit on their A…. & doesn’t pay for the damage. sometimes i’m overwhelmed by the hatred I feel towards PGE, Rep’s Doug LaMalfa & Garamandy for not protecting us from the politicians

This is terrible reporting. The reporter is literally telling him what to say and then he repeats it.

It should be illegal to rebuild with wood.

It was destroyed by military lasers.

People hello home is charcoal get insurance money and leave

Ummm yeah the people are damaged

...and he's building his house again, a timber house again, with ridiculous roofing that will catch fire again with the next embers strong winds will bring along anytime in the future. - It's so 'merica, so mindless&stupid...

NOT A CAMP FIRE!!!!!!!!!

I hope they left some cars as reminders, eventually nature will cover the evidence up and there should be reminders

Trump did not send aid when needed most

Now you know how the Native Americans felt when they were burned out! sounds like poetic justice to me.....

They said in the video they cut half a million trees for security reasons which they are very use full to nature,producing oxygen,reducing winds affect,protect week animals,houses for birds,use full for humans and animals,.
