Amy lanski: "i'm here in oroville at the local assistance center where bear fire victims are out here trying to get some of the help they need.

I spoke to one man who lost everything and is now living in roseville he said he is just happy his family is safe."

Gregory murphy- bear fire victim "we lost everything, but i got my wife, my kids, my grandkids, my dogs, so whatever else i had they can replace."

Murphy said he went to the local assistance center today to get any help he can, "get my birth certificate, some paperwork done, and to get some vouchers for food."

Right now murphy and his wife are staying at a hotel in roseville.

"we have been there since the 18th and we get kicked out on the 25th unless we get a renewal."

Murphy says he is worried about other people who are facing the same struggles as him and who have to start over.

"every time i close my eyes all i see is videos of my house completely gone, i... i'm sorry... but you know just start over.

That's all you can do, that's it, 61 years old and we have to start over again."
