The Humboldt Fire (so named as it started on Humboldt Road)started on Wednesday, June 11th and burned about 23,500 acres and destroyed 74 homes. Aided by heavy north winds, the fire moved incredibly fast up and down the dry fingers of the canyons. About 1/3 of Paradise was evacuated. Everyone came together to help. Incredible effort by the firefighters who came from all over the western states. As of last night it is now 100% contained.
