The town is basically gone. The 10 acre #Campfire has blown up to 20,000 acres and more or less has wiped out the town of 27,000. Send one up for the folks in the way, and battling this blaze before bed tonight please.

I grew up there and still have many friends that still live there. Touched base and they are all safe and evacuated, now they play a waiting game and hope they have a home to return to. Sad deal.

Just read the Paradise fire is growing at a rate of about 80 football fields per minute.

My son arrived there a few hours ago. . It was windy much of today, but it hopefully calmed down up there like it did here around 4pm.

Friends of the family live down there..... they've found a place to live up here in Oregon... Sunday they went down there to get the rest of their furniture etc... and put their place up for sale..... They won't have to now... except they found out their home insurance policy had lapsed....

Sad deal. Was up there a few months ago visiting my Grandparents grave in the Paradise Cemetery. I kind of thought they were lucky to dodge the earlier round of fires.

Will do Mark! On their behalf, thank you very VERY much! Give my family's best regards to "the Warden".

I went to high school in Lincoln, Class of 70, the Fighting Zebras. We played Paradise in football. Sad news.

Thoughts and prayers to them all. I know a lot of people that lost everything in the Carr fire. Been to the town of Paradise many times. Unreal.

We're on Evac Warning but I'm thinking there is no chance we'll have to go. Winds have died and there just isn't enough fuel, but we're ready. My Sheriff Deputy buddies family has been with us all day. Pretty sure their house is gone.

Higbean, I was thinking of you, when I saw a video on Facebook with fire to the east of SR-99 at Durham exit. Fire is from SR-32 to The Skyway. East and South sides of Chico.
