Camp Fire Update...Over 11,000 Structures Destroyed, Missing Numbers Soar to 631, Confirmed Deaths Climbs to 63, Possible Second Ignition Location
Paradise, CA...It was another brutal day for Camp Fire Destruction totals. Official Death total climbed to 63 and the missing total soared as they cross referenced initial 911 calls during the frantic first few hours to the missing lists. A cryptic revelation from Fire Investigators was that they have possibly identified a second ignition location. Firefighters worked throughout the day in all areas of the fire to continue suppression efforts while working to strengthen and improve control lines. Firefighters implemented both indirect and direct fire attack methods to make progress in containing the fire. Many portions of the fire are burning in steep and rugged terrain where direct fire attack is difficult. Established containment lines are holding and firefighters continue to patrol the interior of the fire for hot spots.
