Here’s an update on the Camp Fire happening in Butte County in Northern California:

1. The fire grew from 70,000 to 90,000 acres and is still only 5% contained. It is now the most destructive fire in California’s history

2. So far there have been 9 confirmed fatalities. 5 of these people died in their cars while trying to evacuate

3. The last incident report I saw said that the fire isn’t expected to be contained until 11/30/2018 but this information might have changed by now

4. A total of 6,713 buildings have been confirmed to be destroyed (6,453 of which were residential buildings, 206 were commercial buildings)

5. A text to donate has been set up by United Way to help with recovery efforts. Text “buttefire” to 91999

6. All school in Butte County is cancelled for the next week

7. The air quality in Chico is extremely bad right now so please stay inside as much as possible and keep your pets inside if you can

The Honey Run Covered Bridge (built in 1886) has been destroyed and is no longer standing. This is really sad news to me because I used to go there as a kid growing up and I’ve spent a lot of time there with my friends as well. It was a historic Chico landmark loved by so many people

Here’s a satellite picture of the fire showing how far the smoke has traveled

Here’s some additional information if anyone living in Chico or Butte County wants to volunteer. There’s also some information on evacuee shelters and animal shelters or if anyone is searching for a missing person.
