Almost three years after the Camp Fire nearly leveled the town of Paradise, claiming at least 85 lives, we revisit the disaster through the reporting of Lizzie Johnson, an enterprise reporter for the Washington Post. She spent the past several years piecing together the many stories of tragedy and triumph that have emerged from that devastating day, and wrote about what she turned up in her new book, "Paradise: One Town’s Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire."
