As the wildfire continues to rage in California, the death toll has climbed to 31, after two people were confirmed to have died near Los Angeles. The death toll in and around Paradise, the town which has been completely destroyed by the fire, now being dubbed ‘the Woolsey fire’, had reached 29 as on Sunday.
Authorities say 228 still people remain unaccounted for in Northern California.
“Winds are already blowing,” Chief Daryl Osby of the Los Angeles County Fire Department said Sunday. “They are going to blow for the next three days. Your house can be rebuilt but you can’t bring your life back.”
The blaze has forced the authorities to issue evacuation orders for a quarter million people in Ventura and Los Angeles counties and beachside communities including the Malibu beach colony.
