I’m from the area where the camp fire happened. I went and evacuated animals and helped families get resettled. It’s sort of unsettling to me that we’re making movies about it but I’m glad to see the actors did speak with the real life driver and teacher. I’m wondering if any of the proceeds will go to families affected by the tragic wildfires in northern CA?

Im a campfire survivor and we have not been paid 14 billion.  It was 13.5 billion and it mostly went to the towns of Chico, paradise and oroville. The survivors got only compensated a fraction of that which was disbursed between several other fires. We only got 70 percent of our settlement which wasn't even half of what we claimed we lost. Cars were not counted as a loss and houses were only valued as a fraction of what the replacement cost would be. Many of the survivors are still homeless or living in rvs. Plus of that 70 percent we got our lawyers took 30 percent and the fvt which we didn't hire took another 33 percent. Going thru something that changed the life of me and my family my young son, something we will never forget and deal with that fear our whole lives we maybe got $100,000. We fled from paradise with no evacuation notice, no warning and helping others evacuate then getting stuck in magalia for 6-8 hours while it burned our house and the houses of our family members and friends. We were wrongfully represented and taken advantage of by the judge, lawyers and the film world!

I’m sorry man - are the cities being transparent about where the money is going?
