The Devastating Camp Fire
On November 8, 2018, a tragic event unfolded in Northern California that would forever change the lives of thousands of individuals and families. The Camp Fire, named after Camp Creek Road where it started, quickly became one of the most destructive and deadly wildfires in California's history. This devastating fire burned through over 153,000 acres, destroyed more than 18,000 structures, and claimed the lives of 85 people.
