Lessons From a Wildfire Reporter

The Camp Fire, the nation's deadliest wildfire in a century, destroyed the Butte County town of Paradise in 2018. Former Chronicle reporter Lizzie Johnson, now with the Washington Post, tenaciously covered the tragedy, from training with firefighters to interviewing hundreds of Paradise residents. She joins host Cecilia Lei to talk about her new book, "Paradise: One Town's Struggle to Survive an American Wildfire," and to share the vital lessons she's learned as another catastrophic wildfire season is under way. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod Episodes of Fifth & Mission featuring Lizzie Johnson: To Catch a Fire-Setter: pod.fo/e/ad07c The Life and Death of Braden Varney: pod.fo/e/ade1a Learn more about your ad choices.
