Josh Cozine, Olyvia Simpson, Ricardo Tovar and Alex Grant worked as a team to interview #CampFireSurvivors at a couple evacuation centers Wednesday.
They met Lourie Jones and her family at the Pleasant Valley Baptist Church during this process. Jones allowed them to audio record her story, but she asked not to be photographed or filmed. She then asked the reporters if they could check on her family's apartment building in Paradise at 5827 Wildwood Lane. Josh, Ricardo and Alex were able to get to Paradise Thursday and found that this apartment was completely intact. Unfortunately, almost all of the neighboring homes were burnt to the ground.
Here is Jones' evacuation story in the first installment of the #CampFireStory podcast series.

Her unique eye brings life to shots that would have been otherwise a normal static shot. A relentless drive to make herself available for any writing, photo or video assignment that comes her way makes Olyvia Simpson a dream come true for any multimedia news editor and producer. Olyvia has raised the bar of how The Orion covers the Chico State campus beat; and her teamwork rate has been so impressive that every week –for the last five weeks– a peer or two have nominated her to win The Orion's mug. She is always smiling and has managed to stay laser-focused on the quality of her multimedia news work. Congrats, Olyvia!
