Would love to live there; hopefully homeowners insurance costs will return to normal costs (like maybe double what they used to be instead of triple or quadruple).
I don't agree. Not worth the removale of all those trees. They should allow less people and more trees. We have enough "high desert" areas already. We don't need to artifically make more desert where there should be trees.
It's been 12 years since an F5 tornado blasted its way across Joplin, MO, destroying 40% of the city. Since then the reconstruction is amazing, although there are still many reminders of that fateful day. RIP to the 161 victims.
I’m rebuilding with the help of the wonderful people in & around Paradise. BUT I STILL FEEL ANGER. My 56 yr old son just died of Lung Cancer. My family members have moved out of state. I’m 83 & hope I can enjoy my soon to be rebuilt home before I die. MY GREATEST ANGER is at PGE for stalling payments of retribution. The STOLE 5 1/2 yrs of my life
I pray Paradise gets rebuild. I grew up in Paradise from 4th grade to college when I moved to Chico. I drove to chico daily on skyway for work, had such amazing memories in Paradise. Grew up with nate smith and his brother Kyle (nate signed with sony after Paradise fires and brought hope to the town). I remember the Paradise High football games, dancing salsa and ballroom across the street after class, the jobs I had, my first love and kiss, first heartbreak, talent shows where I would sing, Billy park, cruising up to Oroville for Holidays and boating on Oroville lake, beautiful people there and beautiful memories I will never forget. I loved this small town. So many friends lost everything but a few items, their car and each other. Many have moved to Oroville and Chico, others in other states and some stayed in cali, but Idk anyone who came back to rebuild and I understand why. I pray for all those who have been inpacted for healing and comfort, strength. Breaks my heart. I heard Jamie Lee Curtis is doing a movie about the fire, specifically about the heroes that saved children in a bus that we will be watching. I hope the majority of the movie or all goes to donating to rebuild Paradise. I moved to Chico a few years before the fire, then the Bay area. It will forever be Paradise in my heart and pray it gets rebuild.
I’m happy living where I do now. I loved Paradise. I joined a church and loved the people there. I could walk to the store. I can’t believe though that there was no residual harm to people’s lungs breathing in all those harmful things. I was prepared to run out until a woman picked me up. After almost six years open fires in barbecues scare me. I’ve managed to work it out, then I dream of it.
Hugs and goodwishes to those in LA homeless jan25. I imagine just this 7 minute vid can give hope and direction. I hope you too have a great community bond when you move back. xx
I'm one of the rare residents that moved to paradise after the fire, never having lived here before. It's a beautiful community with beautiful people and the landscape has no doubt changed, but is still beautiful. There are less trees, but more views. Future fires in the area will have less fuel, less trees being around and all the new buildings are constructed with fireproofing in mind.
As a Australian from Victoria, our state is known for deadly bushfires. Sympathies for these guys across the pond, i know exactly how it feels to deal with this type of carnage.
I would love to live there. Great community, affordable housing, just a short drive away from a bigger city with university, it has almost everything. But homeowners insurance is almost impossible to get and it hasn’t really gotten easier in the past 12 months….no end in sight
Having visited Paradise before the fire, I wish its remaining (and returning) residents all the best and a safe, successful future living there. It won't be perfect, but they will have a chance at a new community. Hopefully hard lessons have been learned, and the fires of the future will be much less devastating as a result.
So are they going to stay in RVs on their land until they get paid off? Most are too old to being down that, better off selling, living somewhere else and wait for a payoff during your lifetime.
Wildfires happen every year. Swales can be dug near residential areas through government employment schemes. Goat farmers can circulate herds through those areas to remove brush. Use tried and true common sense rotational systems that have existed for millennia like herding ducks for locusts.
Rebuild it, they will only zap it with lasers again. Wood was burning where the metal touched it. That’s what happens when you put metal in the microwave.
Someday people will take another look and realize only a directed energy weapon can burn with the intensity it takes to melt glass and metal while leaving tree trunks and bushes unburned all around. Built structures melted into the ground while the tree in the front yard and recycle bins are still there.
Because most people had propane tanks that fueled the fire, not to mention all the cars, trucks, boats, recreational vehicles, mobile homes, rock crawlers, etc. All of that explosive stuff, plus the pine needles, fueled specific areas. That's literally why they said they keep the pine needles away from the house now. Most people had them all built up up against their wall houses.
@@nukanurse A pile of any size pine needles does not explain county wide melting of metal, concrete and glass while tree trunks and recycle bins are unburned. A propane tank explodes or not and the metal tank left behind does not cause the window glass and hub caps of the car out on the street to melt while the fir tree in the yard is left standing. It takes a willful desire to feel safe to cause us to ignore the obvious horror that happened to these people.
@thinkfryrselfmom4086 The fire did not burn everything, but I'm finding it hard to see where your head is wrapping around trash cans and tree stumps... You can clearly see that metal beams still stood, but everything else was charred and burnt to the ash floating in the air. It had hot spots and was hard to put out. I sold my house to a victim who showed me the pictures of his RV that was burned.. the metal was only melted where the two propane tanks sit in front.
@thinkfryrselfmom4086 it wasn't a "pile of pine needles" It was a whole town of pine needles and in a drought. Maybe you've never been to Paradise before it burned but that's what it was, a dense thick pine tree forest that traveled all the way up to Magalia, and the fire stopped at the mountain edge by Chico.
@@nukanurse If you can find them. look at overhead views of paradise fire and the camp fire aftermath. They are similar in that buildings are razed to the ground without standing structure at all... not even a porcelain toilet. Trees and forests remain in yards and surrounding the towns, some with canopy intact. In Paradise many cars were flipped upside down in the burned areas. Every vehicle in the town, in the road, along the road was burned completely and melted to the rims with nothing but barren metal frame left. Trees were burned from the inside out when they were burned. The fire reached trees from underground if fire reached them.
I know this is two months late, but I just wanted to say that you're correct. PG&E has started the majority of wildfires in California. If I remember correctly, for Paradise they actually had to declare bankruptcy. They ended up having to pay the city $270 million and Butte County $252 million. They even set aside $10.5 billion for the claims. That doesn't mean however that they have stopped being horrible ever since. As a Californian, I don't think there's ever a day where we'll see the company as "good".
PG&E should have been sued, kicked out of business (which business belongs to CAL folks) and Bosses thrown in jail. But this is Californians democracy, here the rich are offering pounds of cocaine to Politicians and Justices as an end of year bonus :))
Gary Stephen Maynard-Dixie fires. Ecoterrorists arsonists are real-and they stage “accidents” to blame utility companies. A news report in my State exposed arsonists cutting telephone poles halfway through so they would go “timber” on the next wind storm.
@@Buasop I to live in Commifornia. I bet most of the past wildfires were preventable but democrats love to have something more to add to CLIMATE CHANGE🤡 hahah

Why? Ecoterrorist arsonists will just stage an accident by downing some telephone poles so that everyone blames the utility company for failing to protect against “climate change”.
"We're knocking on heavens door, almost PARADISE" , until the fire comes around again. Good job California on mismanaging the forest. I live in Truckee and at least here we clear the dead wood.
Gary Stephen Maynard-Dixie Fires. We have to start questioning how many eco-terrorist arsonist live amongst us. How many climate change subscribers are dead set on sending a message to the world through destruction to “save” the world?
As a Californian I think it's really important that we rebuild Paradise. This community deserves to be saved.
Would love to live there; hopefully homeowners insurance costs will return to normal costs (like maybe double what they used to be instead of triple or quadruple).
Yes i totally Understand that :)

its ok, the new wildfires only really burn houses, not so much trees. just watch the drone footage, its really obvious.

Great reporting by Steve Patterson!
Being from cali and lived in cali during this just about 2 hours from this…: seeing this makes me so happy
Big mistake not painting the roofs blue.
I wonder if everyone painted roofs blue in the future, would 'they' change the color to red. We need to find out who THEY ARE!!!
Please quit building with wood in wildfire areas. There are a lot of other options out there.
I would like to attend Chico and live in Paradise
I've been following the progress of the Paradise rebuild...I predict Paradise will return to normal if not better...Godspeed to all...

Evacuation Warnings was just sent out for the entire town of paradise due to the Park Fire which has now doubled the size of the CampFire

Thank you for some truth here. Its amazing what people refuse to see. Its too scary so they imagine it must not have happened.
Seek help and get some healthy focus in life.
@@thinkfryrselfmom4086 You both need help. Stay away from children until you get it.
Right now, 29 people are unaccounted in the Ruidoso, New Mexico Fire. I am reading this to judge if officials learned anything from the Paradise Fire.
And now January 2025 and we have the fires near LA.
What? Wildfire? I thought it was some guy named postal dude that destroyed it with a nuke
The mayor is a local contractor...
Your point? I used to have breakfast with him and other Christians. Greg is a good man.
They be lying about the number of people that died. Idk why but I find that odd.
How so? Show some proof? Or is this some conspiracy theory?
@@Buasop he’s a conspiracy theorist
give it up and seek help
My grandma had 12 grandkids to keep the yard debris free in the 80s.
