Wildfires continued to tear through Northern and Southern California on Monday, where firefighters were at the mercy of dry air and whipping winds fanning the deadly blazes. At least 44 people have died statewide; many people remain unaccounted for.
In a year of record-breaking fires, Cal Fire Chief Ken Pimlott told NPR’s All Things Considered the Camp fire in the north and Woolsey fire in the south may be “the most destructive and the deadliest” on record for the state.
In Northern California, the Camp Fire, which ripped through the town of Paradise, 90 miles north of Sacramento, has killed 42 people, authorities said.
