It was a town known to be as peaceful and serene as its name.
Paradise, California, was home to more than 26,000 people across a little more than 18 square miles, with communities nestled in between thousands of pine trees.
Then, in November 2018, the town was incinerated. The 'Camp Fire', contained by firefighters in 18 days, is now considered one of the most destructive fires in California's history. It killed 86 people, burned a total of 153,336 acres and destroyed 90 percent of the Butte County town, according to the governor's office.
The chilling video showing homes reduced to ash and all-around destruction captured much of the nation's attention last fall. The danger Paradise endured, though, could be felt by other communities in the future.
A new USA Today analysis shows a handful of southern Colorado towns are at an even higher risk for severe wildfire potential than Paradise.
