PARADISE, Calif.—A search for victims of a catastrophic blaze that reduced a northern California town to ashes intensified on Nov 15., as authorities expanded the number of missing to 600 in the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in state history.
At least 63 people have been confirmed dead in the Camp Fire, which erupted a week ago in the drought-parched Sierra foothills 175 miles north of San Francisco and now ranks as one of the most lethal single U.S. wildfires since the turn of the last century.
