A new fire is burning in Butte County, within 10 miles of Paradise, California. Paradise was virtually destroyed in 2018 by the Camp Fire. Be prepared, not scared. That s the mantra in the rural Northern California town of Paradise, virtually destroyed by a wildfire less than three years ago. Today Paradise sits 10 miles from the Dixie Fire, an uncontained blaze that has swept through more than 3½ square miles of mostly brush and timber since igniting Wednesday. The fire is one of more than 70 in 12 states from California to Minnesota fueled by weeks of heat, drought and other factors in a relentless loop this summer.
