The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, also known as Cal Fire, reported that the Camp Fire burned 153,336 acres and took 85 lives. So far, it is known that the wildfire destroyed 13,696 homes as it traveled Northern California’s communities of Pulga, Concow, Paradise, and Magalia. Cal Fire is still working to assess the damage. At least three firefighters were injured batting the blaze.
The Butte County Sheriff’s Department recruited a multi-agency task force to capture detailed aerial imagery maps of the damage in the town of Paradise, which was completely destroyed. The task force also collected video surveys and 360-degree drone panoramas of the town’s major roads.
