Photos before and after the Camp fire reveal a town destroyed
A McDonald’s. A gas station. Thousands of homes. Residents of the town of Paradise lost everything.
The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection is conducting an inventory of the damage. So far the agency has found more than 15,000 buildings ruined by the Camp fire.
Throughout their investigation they’ve taken thousands of photos. Here are some of them.
