In the midst of another difficult fire season in California, we pause to remember exactly a year ago this week the wildfire that broke out in Butte County in California. In the 17 days the fire burned, 86 people were killed, thousands of acres destroyed, and the town of Paradise reduced to rubble.
It was the deadliest fire in California history.
