Wildfire home hardening in Chico, California
Chico sits at the edge of the Sacramento Valley where it meets the foothills, and its eastern neighborhoods back onto grassland and oak woodland that carries fire fast on a windy afternoon. Homes near Upper Bidwell Park and along the canyon rim face the most ember exposure, but even flatland neighborhoods saw ember fall during the Camp Fire. Contractors here serve the whole county, so Chico is usually the easiest place to find someone available.
