The clinic expands medical services on the Ridge, which has been without a hospital or emergency room since the Camp Fire and comes at a time when strains on the system are mounting because of the outbreak of COVID-19. It will be located at the Feather River Health Center at 5125 Skyway and is open seven days a week. Public health officials have recommended calling in advance. The clinic is not an emergency room and is not designed to handle major trauma, but rather to expand services at the Feather River Health Center

•  Many private roads in the Camp Fire area are eligible for public assistance funding to remove Hazardous Trees through the State Hazard Tree Removal Program. 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.   Tree ROEs and Inspection Access Forms can be turned in via email at TreeROE@buttecounty.net  or by mail addressed to 205 Mira Loma Dr., Ste 50, Oroville, CA 95965
