Paradise is six years into rebuilding its town, and since then, leaders have improved on evacuation procedures, learned how to guide rebuilding, and set prospects for building fire-wise communities.

Paradise Mayor Steve Crowder is in contact with officials in Southern California to share insights on recovery efforts following a wildfire, drawing from his experience as a Camp Fire survivor and the rebuilding of the community.

A new wildfire was reported today at 10:15 a.m. in Los Angeles County. The wildfire has been burning on private land. Currently, there is no data indicating the containment progress of the fire and its cause remains undetermined.
