CHICO, Calif.—Homeless survivors of the most destructive wildfire in California history are regrouping and trying to pull their lives together, while volunteers are doing what they can to help.

Tents, cars, signs, animals, tables, and chairs are scattered in the parking lot of a Walmart off Highway 99 in Chico, 15 miles west of Paradise. The town was largely destroyed by the Camp Fire. At the southeast corner of the lot, a food-service station has been operating around the clock.
