Starting last Thursday, The Camp Fire has grown exponentially and many people were forced out of their homes through evacuations. The fire wiped out the city of Paradise, leaving behind total devastation. 

"Last night firefighters continued to hold established containment lines," Cal Fire said in an update Tuesday. The agency said firefighters had "worked aggressively" to protect structures in the fire's path, and that they've been working to build fire lines to establish control. But it added that dry conditions with no rain in sight and "...with steep terrain in some areas will impede firefighting efforts." 

Our team here at SERVPRO of East Sacramento/West Arden Arcade is in shock at the amount of damage that has occurred. We have already gotten several jobs for smoke damage here in Sacramento. Our technicians are prepared to leave as soon as the authorities give the clear to go to Chico and Paradise to help with the damage.

Until then, we have decided to raise money for towards the California Fire Foundation. All donations will be automatically deposited to the fund. If you can spare a couple dollars, everything helps.
