BOARD OF SUPERVISORS MINUTES – JULY 8, 2025
Fires
Former Butte County Health Officer, Dr. David Canton, declared a local health emergency
in Butte County on July 27, 2024, due to the Park Fire that started on July 24, 2024. The
Park Fire destroyed 428 structures in the County, resulting in a large amount of debris
which contains hazardous materials. On August 7, 2024, the Health Officer expanded the
local health emergency to include the Thompson Fire. The debris poses a substantial
present and potential hazard to human health and the environment unless managed
properly.
Per California law, once the proclamation is ratified it must be renewed every 30 days. The
Department recommends the Board of Supervisors renew the local health emergency
declaration for the Park and Thompson Fires. (DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH)
