Abstract
The 2018 camp fire, California, is among the deadliest wildfires to occur in US history. The fire
led to 85 deaths, with over 500,000 evacuees from Paradise and Concow. Problems associated
with this manmade disaster include pollution, economic issues, deaths and injuries, and
environmental destruction. The government and FEMA responded swiftly to provide camps for
evacuated people, cleanup programs, and mental health support to the people affected by the
trauma. Involving the police could have been an effective remedy to communicate and evacuate
the people faster enough. Despite the disaster, the government encourages the community to stay
safe and contact the responders.
