Weekly Spotlight
The Building Resiliency Center (BRC) is opening on Monday, January 27th at 8 am. Opening the BRC will help further our goal of getting our residents back home as soon as possible. The BRC is located at 6295 Skyway and will be open starting Jan. 27th from 8 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday.
The BRC will be a one-stop-shop for residents who are rebuilding or even considering rebuilding in Paradise. The Town of Paradise Building Department is relocating to the BRC to offer residents a better experience as our community rebuilds. There is more space, seating areas, and more permit technicians to help speed up the process.
News This Week
-
Starting at 6:00 am on Thursday, Jan. 23rd the Town of Paradise and Northern Recycling Waste Service (NRWS) will be conducting a test burn of 2 air curtain burners (ACB) at the green waste facility on American Way. The air curtain burners are an incinerator box with a bower that creates an air curtain over the top of the box.
-
The air curtain significantly reduces the ember and smoke production of the fire making the air curtain burners an efficient and environmentally friendly alternative means of disposing of burnable waste material. Once started, the test burn will run all day and through the night. There is no need to report this activity to emergency personal as the test burn is being conducted under close supervision from Town officials and NRWS employees.
-
The Government Hazard Tree Removal Program has not started yet, however, there are tree removal operations happening in Town. PG&E, as well as private contractors, are currently removing trees. PG&E Tree Removal subcontractors will have white temporary PG&E badges for identification and will mark trees 10 days prior to removal. They will also leave a white tag with a phone number to call as well as the information for the arborist who identified the tree(s) for removal. For more information, contact PG&E at rebuild@pge.com.

The Paradise Town Council and the Butte County Board of Supervisors passed ordinances requiring the removal of hazard trees damaged by the Camp Fire from private property that may fall into public roadways. Property owners may enter the Government Tree Program to have the trees removed by the State at no out-of-pocket cost. Enrollment in the Government Tree Program requires a Right-of Entry form. Property owners may also identify and remove hazard trees themselves but must submit an inspection form so an inspector may verify the removal of the hazard trees from the property. Property owners may also call the Tree ROE Center directly at (530) 552-3030 or submit Tree ROEs by email at TreeROE@buttecounty.net. The Tree ROE is available for download online at www.ButteCountyRecovers.org/treeremoval. ROE forms may also be picked up at the Tree ROE Centers when they open.
