Paradise

Butte County Sheriff Kory Honea announced the official death toll in a statement on Monday night, with more than 200 still unaccounted for.

Ever since President Trump tweeted about the real cause of the California wild fires, celebrities, union leaders, activists and leftist politicians have been lining up to tell us how evil and wrong Trump is.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) blasted “despicable” President Donald Trump for his “lack of compassion” after the California wildfires and said Trump should just “keep his mouth shut.”

(AP) — A California sheriff says two more sets of human remains were found Wednesday, bringing the death toll from the wildfire to 83.

According to news reports, virtually the entire city of Paradise, CA, has been destroyed.  In the words of one now-former resident, the burnt-over town “looked like Iraq.”  Or as a fire official said even more succinctly, Paradise, once home to 27,000 people, is now “Armageddon.”  

“I’ve never seen anything like that,” Trump said about the fires. “And what we saw there wasn’t as bad as some of the areas where we’re not allowed to go, where we just can’t go for safety reasons. Some of the areas are worse than that.”

CHICO, Calif. (AP) — With the confirmed death toll at 71 and the list of unaccounted for people more than 1,000, authorities in Northern California on Friday searched for those who perished ahead of a planned visit by President Trump.

(AP) — At least 59 people were killed and 300 were unaccounted for a week after the flames swept through parts of California.

(AP) — Authorities have reported eight more fatalities from a blaze in Northern California, bringing the total death toll so far to 56 in the deadliest wildfire in state history.

CHICO, Calif. (AP) — Authorities searching through the aftermath of the Camp Fire have released the names of about 80 people missing.

PARADISE, Calif. (AP) — Authorities have reported 13 more fatalities from a blaze in Northern California that destroyed a town, bringing the total death toll so far to 42 and making it the deadliest wildfire in recorded state history.

The death toll from the wildfire that incinerated Paradise and surrounding areas climbed to 31 — matching the mark for the deadliest single blaze in California history.

A brand new fire erupted along a Southern California highway near the Los Angeles and Ventura county line on Monday. 

Southern California Edison disclosed to officials that a circuit operated by the company malfunctioned minutes prior to the Woosley fire’s eruption. 

A wildfire blazing so quickly that firefighters couldn’t hope to stop it quadrupled in size Friday after destroying several thousand buildings and leveling much of a Northern California town of nearly 30,000 people, according to state authorities. A wind-driven wildfire is also raging through Southern California communities on Friday, relentlessly pushing toward tony Malibu.
