Fire closes road to Paradise

[LynnDel]

A big fire rages around Paradise, near Chico, at this time. A lot of good ol' Adventists in that area. Feather River Hospital is there.

I know that area well. There were two roads. One from Chico and another from the south along 191. That is the route I took to Paradise. The 191. Lots of Oak trees and pine trees and lots of stuff for fires to feed on in that area.

Adventist Health Receives $200M Settlement After 2018 Wildfire Loss

Adventist Health settled with the PG&E Fire Victim Trust for $200 million regarding the loss of its Paradise hospital during the 2018 Camp Fire. This settlement represents a significant reduction from the original $1 billion claim Adventist Health had proposed. The Fire Victim Trust was established as part of PG&E’s bankruptcy to compensate victims of utility-caused wildfires, including the 2018 Camp Fire. However, the trust’s structure has led to financial difficulties for many fire victims who are still waiting for full compensation.
