The Camp Fire was the most destructive wildfire in California history. The fire began in early November 2018 and lasted three weeks. It spread uncontrollably from the forest into the town of Paradise and burned down the whole town. Soon after, researcher Keith Bein made attempts to study the fire’s toxic effects. Little is known about toxic chemicals released when a whole town burns. Last fall, Bein drove around 160 kilometers from his laboratory at the University of California, Davis, to the town of Paradise. It was his second attempt to enter the area in hopes of studying the fire’s effects. But police refused to let him to enter. Only emergency responders and news reporters were permitted. Public safety agencies have not yet established rules that say whether scientists are permitted into the restricted areas.
