i spoke with lizzie johnson what about she learned as she documented the disaster. lizzie, thank you very much for joining us. i know like so many california journalists you covered a lot of fires. why was paradise different for you? why did you decide to write this book? >> i have been covering fires for awhile before the campfires in 2018. that fire was just unparalleled in terms of destruction, the number of buildings, the number of people that died. it was the first time we had seen a town wiped off the map like that before. it stuck with me and i really wanted to understand what the town had been and what it would look like as they tried to rebuild and how to figure out how to make a life there again. >> it is so timely as we are in a month of horrible fires in the state. what have you learned about how much climate change played a role in the campfire versus negligence by pge? >> it's a tricky thing to pick apart. all of these factors take effect. pge has infrastructure that hasn't been hardened and maintained which causes the fires as well. then there's also
