Federal agencies fall short of Trump forest protection goals
Gavin Newsom of doing a โterrible jobโ of forest protection, his own agencies fell short of his goals for federal lands in 2019. They treated a combined 6,736 square miles (17,446 square kilometers) โ just over half of the 13,203 square miles (34,196 square kilometers) the president sought, according to government data.

Under Trump, the treated area has gone from 6,367 square miles (16,490 square kilometers) in 2017 to nearly 7,336 square miles (19,000 square kilometers) in 2018. Last year it was up to 6,736 square miles (17,446 square kilometers).

Gonzalez knew the area was clear of trees and close to the water and told the drivers caught in the jam getting out of Berry Creek to follow him.
Amid smoke and ash, wildfire-scarred Paradise rebuilds
FILE - This Dec. 3, 2018, file photo shows homes leveled by the Camp Fire line Valley Ridge Drive in Paradise, Calif. The fire never made it to Paradise as other foothill communities bore the terrible brunt, suffering thousands of destroyed structures. The 2018 fire struck two weeks before Thanksgiving, destroyed roughly 19,000 structures in and around Paradise and killed 85 people. But that law is set to expire at the end of the year, and it's unclear if the town council will extend it because of opposition from homeowners. Three of the five town council seats are on the ballot, and 15 people are running for them.
