Fire in Paradise

A year after the devastating Camp Fire, FRONTLINE examines who’s to blame and why it was so catastrophic. With accounts from survivors and first responders, the documentary tells the inside story of the most destructive fire in California's history, its causes and the impact of climate change.

As the deadly Camp Fire approached Paradise on Nov. 8, 2018, town residents who called 911 were told they weren't in danger by a dispatcher who hadn’t yet heard anything to the contrary from Cal Fire, the state’s fire service.
