California Wildfire Death Toll Rises to 25

by VOA News

   Authorities found 14 more bodies Saturday after a wildfire tore through
   a Northern California community, raising to 23 the death toll from the
   Camp Fire, which destroyed the town of Paradise, the county sheriff
   said late Saturday.

   Earlier, two people were found dead in a car in Malibu as a fire forced
   the evacuation of that city's entire population.

   The announcement Saturday brings to 25 the number of people who have
   died in this current batch of wildfires: the Woolsey and smaller Hill
   Fire in southern California, and the Camp Fire in northern California.
