PARADISE, California—Crews faced hot dry “devil winds” as they battled two giant wildfires raging at opposite ends of California on Nov. 11, including a blaze in the north that is now one of the deadliest and most destructive in the state’s history.
At least 23 people have been killed by the Camp Fire that broke out on Thursday northeast of Sacramento and consumed much of the mountain town of Paradise. More than 100 were reported missing. Hundreds of miles to the south, at least two people died in the Woolsey conflagration threatening the wealthy beach community of Malibu, near Los Angeles.
