Synopsis
On November 8, 2018, the ferocious Camp Fire razed nearly every home in Paradise, California, and killed at least 85 people. Journalists Alastair Gee and Dani Anguiano reported on Paradise from the day the fire began and conducted hundreds of in-depth interviews with residents, firefighters and police, and scientific experts. Fire in Paradise is their dramatic narrative of the disaster and an unforgettable story of an American town at the forefront of the climate emergency., On November 8, 2018, a town of 27,000 people was swallowed by the ferocious Camp Fire. Fire in Paradise is an intimate account of Paradise, California, and a community lost to devastating wildfire. What happened in Paradise was unprecedented in America. Yet, according to climate scientists and fire experts, it will surely happen again.
