Camp Fire Death Toll Climbs to 71, Hundreds Still Missing, 9,844 Residences, 336 Commercial & 2,076 Other Buildings Destroyed
Paradise, CA...Today firefighters continued to make progress on the Camp Fire. Hand crews and dozers have been working to implement primary and secondary control lines in steep and rugged terrain. Firefighters have made great progress in strengthening and connecting existing control lines around the fire. More resources, including a contingency of fire engines, will be staged in preparation for increased winds over the weekend due to a Red Flag Warning. Firefighters and our utility cooperators continue to work tirelessly to mitigate hazards and increase safety in the burn areas.
