Camp Belden and Pit Fires[edit]

The Camp Belden and Pit Fires were part of a larger fire complex called the Butte Lightning Complex or the BTU Complex. [1] It also included a fire called the Camp Fire which caused residents of Paradise, CA to evacuate. Another fire named the Camp Fire was the one that destroyed Paradise in 2018.
