Butte County – Dr. Andy Miller, Butte County Health Officer, has issued a hazard advisory strongly suggesting no habitation of destroyed property until property is declared clear of hazardous waste and structural ash and debris by Butte County Environmental Health.
There is evidence from recent fires in California that homes and property destroyed by fire contain high and concerning levels of heavy metals, lead, mercury, dioxin, arsenic, and other carcinogens. Some property may have the presence of radio-active materials. Exposure to hazardous substances may lead to acute and chronic health effects, and may cause long-term public health and environmental impacts.
As areas affected by the fire with destroyed homes and property are opened to residents, residents will have limited access to visit property to collect recognizable belongings and mementoes that may have survived the fire. Residents should review the Health and Safety Precaution for Re-entry packet, which will be distributed at controlled re-entry checkpoints.

Well, what the hell?
Unless they know something we don't. Perhaps we should be asking what bombs were used.
This needs to be watched closely. Radiation? From what, all of those fire and smoke detectors?
Ash is now dangerous? So much for cleaning the fire place.
Some of those pics are unusual. Where did all the fridges, water heaters, ovens and washing machines go. They don't get burnt to nothing.
P
Not to mention the many pics of one house untouched but surrounded on all sides by scorched earth and everything else.

What part of Agenda 21 would this be catering to?

In fact, from July 12 through July 26, 1959, an unknown amount of radioactive gases were intentionally vented to prevent the Sodium Reactor Experiment from overheating and exploding.
Throughout the years, about ten low-power nuclear reactors operated at SSFL, in addition to several "critical facilities" that helped develop nuclear science and applications. At least four of the ten nuclear reactors had accidents during their operation. The reactors located on the grounds of SSFL were considered experimental, and therefore, had no containment structures.
The site ceased research and development operations in 2006. The years of rocket testing, nuclear reactor testing, and liquid metal research have left the site "significantly contaminated". Environmental cleanup is ongoing.
On March 30, 2018, a 7-year-old girl living in Simi Valley died of neuroblastoma, prompting public urging to thoroughly clean up the site.

50 YEARS AFTER AMERICA'S WORST NUCLEAR MELTDOWN
Any fallout from that event could have been resuspsmeded by the fire and the resultant soot would then be radioactive.
