Camp Fire (aka Paradise Fire)
The Camp Fire is one of the deadliest in California state history, and with hundreds of Paradise residents still unaccounted for, officials are worried that the death toll will climb. It has burned 125,000 acres and is only 30 percent contained. Fire officials indicated that 6,453 homes and 260 commercial structures have been destroyed.
