- California Paradise Camp Fire is Deadliest in 100 Years
November 16, 2018
As deputies, National Guard troops and coroners continue searching for human remains, the death toll from the Paradise Camp fire in California has increased to more than 60 people. The number of missing people has also increased to 631.
The fire that started last week has completely destroyed Paradise, California and continued to burn in surrounding communities. Last weekend, wind gusts of up to 50 miles per hour helped the fire spread further.
The fire has now become the deadliest in the U.S. in a century, and the deadliest and most destructive fire in the history of the state of California.
The fire has destroyed more than 10,000 structures, including thousands of homes. As of Sunday, the Camp Fire spanned 110,000 acres, forcing tens of thousands of people to evacuate. Unfortunately, the fire may not be fully contained until the end of the month, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), which provides gas and electric service in the region affected by the fire, has admitted that it would be financially devastated if it is found to be liable for this fire. According to a regulatory filing from Tuesday, there was an outage on a transmission line in Butte County on the morning of November 8, only 15 minutes before the fire started.
The company has already taken a hit financially ”“ shares of PG&E stock fell more than 30 percent on Wednesday. The value of the stock has been cut in half since the fire started.

Many companies talk about teamwork but few practice it. Many companies talk about an employee friendly environment but few actually provide it. At Phillips Law Group the foundation of our success is making sure we work as a team and that we work in an environment that allows everyone to thrive and be at their best every day. Our firm understands that in order for the client to have a great experience the people responsible for that client’s case must be given all the necessary tools and encouragement to make that happen. That’s the Phillips Way. As a manager of this firm in charge of several employees as well as directly affecting the client’s experience I take tremendous pride in saying we live by these premises and we work hard to build on them and make them better every day. This is an amazing place because it has amazing people working here!

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.
