San Francisco sources reported that the death toll from the destructive wildfires have reached 80, with 993 people still unaccounted for. Meanwhile according to the Butte County Sheriff's Office as of Sunday evening, there were 77 deaths and 9,700 homes destroyed as a result of the 149,000 acre Camp Fire in Northern California, which started on November 8.
Accordingly a second blaze in Southern California called the Woolsey Fire started northwest of Los Angeles also on November 8, has killed at least three people with more than 96,000 acres torched. Furthermore according to Cal Fire, the state's forestry and fire protection agency, the Woolsey Fire was now 88% contained, but Cal Fire said that Camp Fire was only 65% contained as of Sunday evening and won't be fully doused until November 30.
Moreover hundreds of deputies, National Guard troops, coroners and anthropologists were sifting through leveled homes and mangled cars for remains. Hence the officials said the death toll from Camp Fire, the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in California history, could keep rising.
