The number of people killed by a massive blaze in northern California has rised to 42, making it the deadliest wildfire in the history of the state.
Thousands of firefighters spent a fifth day digging battle lines to contain the “Camp Fire” in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains north of Sacramento, while search teams were on a grim mission to recover the dead.
“As of today, an additional 13 human remains have been recovered, which brings the total number to 42,” Sheriff Kory Honea told a news conference.
The blaze is “the deadliest wildland fire in California history,” Honea said.
