I have a friend, currently living in Arizona, who grew up in and around Paradise. She is just destroyed over this.

As someone who comes from an area with horrific forest fires, this is just a tragedy. My best friend from high school lost her home in the Fort McMurray, AB fire a few years ago. Then they brought her back early from the evacuation to counsel people who had lost their homes in the fire, because she is a Registered Psychologist. She almost lost it in the early months.

Praying for all the people in Paradise, esp. those who have lost their homes, family members and pets. And for an end to these horrible fires!

The dead in Northern California's devastating wildfire have been found in burned-out cars, in the smoldering ruins of their homes, or next to their vehicles, apparently overcome by smoke and flames before they could jump in behind the wheel.

The death toll in Northern California’s Camp fire climbed higher on Tuesday as emergency responders found more bodies five days into the ongoing blaze.

The fire that ravaged the rural town of Paradise, California, has killed 48 people, Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea told reporters late Tuesday. It has burned more than 8,800 structures, Cal Fire officials said.

The blaze is the deadliest and most destructive in recorded state history.

There are still over 200 people missing, leaving dozens anxious for news of their loved ones. Some 52,000 residents have been forced to evacuate.

(excerpt)

Hundreds of people remain missing in the wake of a pair of deadly wildfires that have been burning across both ends of California.

The two monstrous blazes, which both ignited earlier this month, have claimed at least 87 lives while laying waste to a total area of nearly 400 square miles, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Officials said that the remains of at least 54 people have been positively identified so far.

The vast majority of the deaths -- 84 in total -- were due to the Camp Fire in Northern California's Butte County, making it the deadliest and most destructive wildland fire in the state's history.

The number of people missing or unaccounted for in Butte County was down to 475 on Friday evening after having reached 605 on Thursday, according to the Butte County Sheriff's Office. The number is expected to continue fluctuating as officials account for residents.
