The Ugly Truth to the 2018 Camp Fire

This was a great documentary on the Camp Fire. It's really sad that incompetence within an electrical company could cause so much devastation and loss of life.

I really appreciate you mentioned the other communities like Concow and Yankee Hill. Our communities were forgotten in many of the major news and still some people call this the Paradise Fire, forgetting the other communities that were just as devastated. This video is well done, thank you!

PG&E just passed the cost on to us.

The fire fatalities are ongoing, still. Lung cancer, chronic asthma & COPD has taken its toll on previous Paradise souls.

Being a Campfire "Victim" (Don't know a better word for it) myself I have really wanted to learn more on everything that happened on that day. This is a really well made documentary and I learned more due to it!

2023 Dec 30. AND, still we wait for PGE to PAY. For the past 5 yrs a dribble of $$ from them. They still owe me 65% of the agreed settlem’t amount. I have $14.08 in my savings account while trying to rebuild my house. While PGE executives buy new cars & go on expensive vacations. Must be nice😢😡

i've been watching your videos on tornadoes for the past few days, and just stumbled on this one. at the time of the camp fire, i lived on the very southeast edge of chico, right at the foothills below paradise. i went to school and everything that morning, but had to rush home midday because we received an evacuation warning. by 10pm that night, the fire was still spreading southwest and i'll never forget the view of it rapidly overtaking the foothills and heading straight for my neighborhood as i finally evacuated. im beyond grateful for the fire crew who took the necessary precautions and made the preparations that kept our lives and houses safe and, very luckily, untouched. sadly one of those we lost in the fire was a close family friend that i grew up with. i appreciate how informative this video was and how you focused on the cause and who was at fault. so many people i knew in town already had issues with pg&e, and highlighting their "mistakes" (negligence) is important. there's still so many issues with them having a monopoly over these services in california and i hope this education on their repeated shortcomings eventually leads to a much needed change. great video, just like the rest of yours ive seen :)

This is incredibly well-made, and I learned a lot from it! Thank you!

Wow THANK YOU , I live 3.5 miles directly above Pulga , I'm the only one who saw what happened that morning watching from Concow Road at the top of Flea Creek Canyon, I got a message 7am about the fire start from a Friend Chris Hail that was a Battalion Chief with Cal Fire. I had to drive to Flea Mountain to see what was happening , it was a shock of a lifetime I was expecting to see some smoke NOT the Atomic Bomb blast from Heroshma. I am impressed with your accuracy so many bullshit stories going around , I stayed for the entire time . the fire eventually got about 500 feet from my place but it took 5 days since it wasn't a raging inferno at that point. I was very lucky also that Cal Fire had a fire base set up just below Flea Mountain about 2 miles from my place and took care of me

I just watched you report on the Camp fire, wow.. Nice work..! I never knew they had winds like that up in their mountains. the fire destroyed so much and, so much tragedy for the people in the areas. My prayers and Condolences. I live in the oak fire region. California. Itll either, burn or sink. Thanks for your video.

For a small channel This was actually a pretty good video wow 😮

Well done This November will be six years since we lost everything … the greatest loss is not being close to family who live in Chico and the sense of community we had there and have not found since … we were forced out of the area due to lack of affordable housing. We left the state and even if we wanted to we could not go back because of the ensuing financial impossibility to live there. Crime has increased exponentially as has the influx of professional transients. Friends who chose to stay and rebuild are having difficulty finding property insurance coverage. PG&E rates are now based on your gross income. There is a lot of hype about the town of Paradise rebuild process … that would be a good follow-up investigation if you talk to real people rather than the newbies who brought their Bay Area attitudes to the area. Also, there are many of us whose health has declined since then. Marriages didn’t survive the stress - so many people split up.

PG&E has neglected all of their equipment for decades. Even after all of their incidents, they still aren’t doing much to improve their safety. Most of their hydro plants still have equipment that’s almost 100 years old.

Ive watched so many wildfire documentaries and hot shot videos, I find it fascinating and terrifying. I heard at its most the fire consumed a football field a SECOND!

I have a bad feeling about mid to late October because the gfs is showing a low pressure moving in which could cause some fires to grow out of control. I just hope that we dont have the same situation as the camp fire this year

There's still people who haven't gotten anything from PG&E

Ending up watching this after reading this in-depth story on the PG-E failures and resulting passing of blame. Doing 1 annual observations, via helicopter, viewing each super structure for 13 seconds a tower. Well done covering this

When my family lived in Orange CA. There was a wildfire that stopped 2 miles from their neighborhood. They had evacuated with their dogs. They were so glad that their neighborhood was spared by the fire being extinguished just 2 miles up a dried up grassy hill. They showed me. I saw the black grass and the dried grass that looked like straw.

Keep making your videos my dude. They are so good. Channels (who I won’t name) with many tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of followers pump out stuff that is far worse than yours.

Where is the location of the gorgeous cedars at 4:17?
