Paradise is rebuilding. They’ve also been preparing. In November 2018, one of the most destructive wildfires in state history swept through Butte County — 85 lives were lost, nearly 19,000 structures were destroyed, and the entire community of Paradise has been rebuilding from the ground up since then. Yesterday, Paradise showed us what rebuilding with wildfire resilience really looks like. Defensible space. Hardened homes. Fuel breaks. Neighbors committed to making sure their community is ready for wildfire. The lessons learned from the Camp Fire have shaped how all of California approaches wildfire preparedness. Wildfire recovery isn’t just rebuilding structures. It’s about building resilience. #WildfirePreparednessWeek #Paradise #CampFire #ReadyForWildfire #CommunityResilience calfire_butteco ibhs_org buttecountypublicworks cal_oes bereadybutte u.s.forestservice buttefiresafe
