When Paradise, California was hit by the Camp Fire in November 2018, it was a tragedy of immense proportions. At least 86 people perished in the blaze and tens of thousands were forced to abandon their homes as the fire spread at an unprecedented rate with frightening speed. It had all started with a malfunctioning high voltage electricity tower that morning but what followed was a nightmare that no one could have foreseen.
The documentary Fire in Paradise tells the story of this horrific event. Through harrowing amateur video footage, body cam recordings and first-hand accounts from those who lived through it, viewers are taken on a journey through this fateful day as they witness the destruction and devastation that ensued. The film also speaks to those tasked with battling the relentless flames and honors those who paid the ultimate price for their bravery. Furthermore, it examines potential causes of the disaster – from human-induced climate change to PG&E’s negligence in failing to replace old power lines – and asks whether or not it could have been avoided.
