100 days after flames: Where we are now after the Camp Fire

Finding the last victims’ names, housing with FEMA, starting a town over and more

As the one month anniversary to the Camp Fire loomed in December of last year, the Chico Enterprise-Record looked at impacts of the fire that included the donations and help pouring into our community, re-population, the shelters (both official and unofficial) that had sprung to life seemingly overnight and, of course, the nascent plans and hopes of the community to rebuild.

Months later, many of those issues are still at the forefront of recovery efforts, with ever-shifting goals and roadblocks to recovery and success. Survivors have learned to take each day as it comes, changing plans with each new challenge.

Now, 100 days after the worst fire in California history, we’re revisiting those same eight topics, to evaluate where our community is in the recovery process — and just how far we have to go.

Search for missing

At its peak, the list of missing issued by the Butte County Sheriff’s Office was more than 1,300 names long. Now, there are just the two people unaccounted for.

So far, the death toll stands at 85, and the Sheriff’s Office has conclusively identified the remains of 73 people. Those names have already been released to the public, and their lives and legacies are chronicled in an ongoing project in the Enterprise-Record — a project that aims to honor every life lost with a front page obituary.

Until every last victim has been named, many feel as though the trauma of the fire continues.

Repopulation

Though thousands of survivors have chosen to say goodbye to their homes (or what remained of them), many have also chosen to stay and rebuild.

All evacuation orders in the burn scar were lifted by mid-December. Survivors who chose to return found themselves faced with a new conundrum — to stay on their property during cleanup, or to find other accommodations until it was feasible to live there again. Very real fears of toxicity in the ashes and environment have plagued Butte County’s residents, with some in nearby cities like Oroville staging protests at the possibility of moving contaminated debris to sites in their cities for sorting and removal.

Thousands of people signed up for debris removal services through the California Office of Emergency Services and the Federal Emergency Management Agency with the understanding that they could live on their property before and after (but not during) debris removal.

That process hit a snag nearly two weeks ago when FEMA announced the town of Paradise and Butte County may not be eligible for more than $1.7 billion in reimbursement if homeowners live on debris removal-eligible property in temporary housing (but not if they’re living in a house, to the confusion and frustration of many survivors) before removal occurs.

The Paradise Town Council and the Butte County Board of Supervisors scrambled to adjust emergency ordinances and to make plans for the more than 130 people who had received utility pull permits and were already living on their former properties, to the dismay and anger of hundreds who showed up to protest at a Town Council meeting in early February.

Shelters

The last Red Cross shelter in Butte County closed Friday at the Silver Dollar Fairgrounds, where it moved in January, consolidating what was left of several official Red Cross shelters across the county.

As of Tuesday, 63 RVs were still parked at the fairgrounds, and those living in them will be transitioned soon to paying a $40 daily fee to stay there, though some will be eligible for financial assistance through FEMA.

The 130-plus residents who were living on debris removal-eligible properties in Paradise and unincorporated Butte County have been invited to move to one of a few dozen available spots for RVs in Oroville or at the Paradise Alliance Church at 6491 Clark Road, said Shelby Boston, director of the Butte County Department of Employment and Social Services, at a recent supervisors meeting.

It’s unknown how many residents will take advantage of the offer, since some will have found alternate options, Boston said.

The Silver Dollar Fairgrounds is also making ready to take in 61 FEMA trailers to house evacuees, though it will not be ready for several weeks. The fair board signed an 18-month contract with FEMA effective Feb. 1 that includes a 6-month term and month-to-month extensions for up to an additional 12 months.

Good old FEMA The Cow--trying to kick over the bucket.

Imparting the paradigm of Paradise Lost:

More fuel for the fire fanning the flames of an official fandango in California - especially since the mainstream story that these massive fires were predictably sparked by corporate power…


DEW was the idea that independently dawned on these daring dudes presently consenting an exotic type of electric technology is possibly causing California’s recent destructive conflagrations.

The California fire fighters found one and other and drove around documenting some damning evidence of a directed energy explanation for the extraordinary damage that Paradise residents are still experiencing; the experts presenting dozens and dozens of incredible videos and plenty of pictures - of melted smart meters and automobiles, obliterated houses and neighborhoods, tree trunks torched from the inside out - like the telephone poles and roadway posts that were instantly already being replaced; while leaves in the trees, most of the forest and other types of combustible materials mysteriously remained unmolested?? The mystified fire fighters also describe the deeply daunting realization that hundreds of residents were not even warned of the fast approaching conflagration before they were forced to franticly flee to find salvation through the flickering flames; and many of those families were probably, unfortunately, maybe intentionally, incinerated - their dust undiscovered in the ashy rubble, while incensed survivors seem under siege; as specially trained foreign and domestic tactical teams have instigated another mass massacre with the total complicity of the their supposedly trusted national security institutions!

Part 1 Paradise Fires - “Massive Event” Expert Testimony Retired Fire Captains:

“Unless they’re willing to come out and have an honest discussion about the role of geo-engineering and chem-trails - if that is not part of the discussion, I don’t care what fire it is - in California or wherever else, if that is not included in the discussion then you’re not telling the truth.”

“And that goes for weather management and climate management too.”

^^^Agree; this is chilling. I haven’t yet watched past the young woman (at the 8 minute mark) promoting the ‘Athena’ laser. Her unrestrained enthusiasm alone over blowing things up gives me pause....do I really want to know more?
