    California massive fire death toll reaches 23, rescue operations underway
  • The death toll from the most destructive fire to hit California rose to 23 yesterday as rescue workers recovered more bodies of people.

    Firefighters are battling raging fires at both ends of the state, but there's little hope of containing the flames anytime soon.

    "Today, 14 additional bodies were located, which brings our total number to 23," Sheriff Kory Honea told a news conference.

  • Ten of the bodies were found in the town of Paradise while four were discovered in the Concow area, both in Butte County, Honea said.

    Rescuers could be seen removing remains over a period of several hours in Paradise and placing them in a black hearse. Pieces of bodies were transported by bucket, while intact remains were carried in body bags.

  • So far, 19 of the people killed have been reported in Paradise, where more than 6,700 buildings, most of them residences, have been consumed by the late-season inferno.

    From miles around, acrid smoke could be seen in the sky around Paradise, the sun barely visible. On the ground, cars were reduced to metal carcasses, while power lines were also gnawed by the flames.

  • "The magnitude of destruction we have seen is really unbelievable and heartbreaking, and our hearts go to everybody who has been affected by this," said Mark Ghilarducci, the director of the California Office of Emergency Services.

    Governor-elect Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency to provide assistance to the hardest-hit areas in the fire-prone state of California.

  • The fast-moving Camp Fire blaze in the north broke out early Thursday.

    Fanned by strong winds, it has so far scorched 100,000 acres (40,500 hectares) and is 20% contained, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) said yesterday. So far, three of the more than 3,200 firefighters deployed have been injured.

    They will need three weeks to fully contain the blaze.

  • Information

    No official cause of fire known yet

  • Local power authorities in Paradise have said an outage occurred near the spot where the fire erupted, the Sacramento Bee reported, but there is still no official cause of the Camp Fire Blaze. Meanwhile, Trump drew criticism for his somewhat unsympathetic reaction to the devastation.

  • Twitter Post

    Trump blames poor management of forests for the fire

  • There is no reason for these massive, deadly and costly forest fires in California except that forest management is so poor. Billions of dollars are given each year, with so many lives lost, all because of gross mismanagement of the forests. Remedy now, or no more Fed payments!

  • Evacuation

    Authorities said some 200,000 people are under mandatory evacuation orders, including the entire city of Malibu.
