00:00All units, be advised, the town of Paradise is under mandatory evacuation.
00:05This has, uh, got potential for a major incident.
00:07Lord, pray for us.
00:08We're getting out of here.
00:09Oh, my God.
00:10Oh, God.
00:11I need an ambulance immediately.
00:12We are too strong.
00:13We are 100% surrounded by fire.
00:15Multiple people trapped.
00:16It's everywhere.
00:17Not to where we're at!
00:20November 8th, at 7.30 in the morning, this town started to burn down.
00:25Within three hours, it was gone.
00:27The state's deadliest and most destructive wildfire in history.
00:33The town of Paradise is basically ash.
00:38I lost my house, too.
00:39I'll tell you what.
00:40It's not easy.
00:41No, it's not.
00:42But we're alive!
00:45It's not just that I lost my house.
00:47It's not that I lost my memories.
00:48My entire way of life is completely gone.
00:51As hard as it is to say that, I don't see the town coming back.
00:55A lot of people have left.
00:57The hospital's gone.
00:58The elementary school's gone.
01:00I thought it would get easier as time went on, but it's actually getting harder.
01:07At the end of the day, I have nowhere to go.
01:10Paradise water may not be drinkable for up to three years.
01:13We have to make them pay for everything, because it's going to happen again if we don't.
01:17Don't we have a responsibility to stop building if it's going to be in areas that are not defensible?
01:22This is my home.
01:23This is where I want to be.
01:26I love that town.
01:27And I'm not going to bail on it now.
01:29We're coming back!
01:34Look at the clear sky!
01:35Hey, clear sky, guys!
01:39Made it through!
01:40Made it through it, guys!
