Fire Near Paradise, CA
 
If you know anything about this, I'd appreciate hearing it. My brother's group home is there.

Thanks,
Helen

The Sacramento Bee has fairly good coverage. The Chico Enterprise is a smaller paper but more local.

My former uncle lives near there. I can ask for more specific info from my cousin if you need it. She's headed there tomorrow.

Those were really helpful, katiesue. Thanks.

I hope everyone is ok there, Helen.

It's awful not knowing. I hope all is well.

Thanks, all. Your good thoughts are appreciated. The firefighters have done an absolutely awesome job containing this fire. Paradise, CA has deep, rocky canyons on two sides and lots of dry tinder all around.

My cousins are currently in the area - until sometime tomorrow. Let me know if you need any futher information I can give them a call.

The group home was spared. Thanks for your help, Katie Sue. I think it will be heartbreaking for your cousins to see what the fire has done to those beautiful trees.

Paradise being evacuated


Quote:

They're evacuating Paradise. Authorities ordered thousands of residents in the town north of Sacramento to leave after erratic winds blew embers across wildfire containment lines, destroying 40 homes nearby, in the latest setback for already strained fire crews.
