Several TRAs during the Camp Fire were maintained beyond the duration of the fire exposures in the immediate area. This was done so evacuees could wait safely until the egress routes were confirmed passable and additional transportation could be arranged for those without vehicles. The map above highlights two examples. Due to the numerous roadways blocked by fire, abandoned vehicles, or other obstructions (indicated by the red x marks), several hundred evacuees took refuge in the TRAs at the parking lots of the Paradise Plaza shopping center (TRA-K), CMA Church (TRA-V), and Optimo restaurant (TRA-S).

After first responders were able to both coordinate a group of public transit buses to facilitate evacuation and identify a passable egress route, evacuees were escorted in convoys from the Optimo and CMA Church to consolidate at the Paradise Plaza. This occurred at about 16:30, indicated by the blue arrows on the map above. From there, a convoy was led out of the fire area to Chico. The first vehicles left at 17:00, seven hours after the TRA was first initiated. Several transit buses remained to collect later evacuees until 23:00. The evacuation routes taken from Paradise Plaza (K) are marked by the green pathways.

Later overnight, a similar convoy evacuation event occurred from the Rite Aid TRA (AA). Between 03:30 and 04:00 on November 9, after the fire front intensely burned through Magalia, dozens of people were escorted from Magalia to Chico on a route prescribed by first responders. This evacuation route is indicated by the red pathway in the map.
