Dead trees stand among piles of ash in the Park Fire burn scar along Highway 32 between Chico and Forest Ranch on July 30, 2024.

Today the California Department of Insurance said if those affected by the Park Fire have insurance it may help with evacuation and relocation costs. We hear from the department’s spokesperson about how they’re trying to support residents.

Also, we head to Forest Ranch, where residents there were able to return home yesterday after an evacuation order for the area was downgraded.

And we hear from NSPR staff about how the station’s KCHO transmitter was almost burned in the fire.
