Date: 08/11/2021

Governor Gavin Newsom announced today the work to remove hazard trees and structural wildfire debris after the 2018 Camp Fire erupted in Butte County is complete. Since February 2019, State crews have worked to remove an astonishing more than 97,200 fire-damaged trees in a 240 square mile area that threatened public roads and cleaned up debris from around 11,000 burned properties in Butte County. The Camp Fire ignited near dawn on November 8, 2018 and raged for nearly three weeks. It destroyed more than 18,800 structures and 85 Californians lost their lives. Those losses left a hole in their families and their community that can never be filled.
