Also, the Butte County Fire Safe County’s mission is to help fire prone neighborhoods prepare for fire. NSPR spoke with executive director Taylor Nilsson about their efforts.

And we’ve been sharing experiences from residents who’ve been affected by the fire. Today we hear from Paradise resident Gina Benavidez.
