California's most destructive wildfire in history kills at least 9, 35 missing
- 6 years ago
A massive wildfire in Northern California has destroyed more buildings than any other in the state's history in just two days,... leaving 9 dead and thousands fleeing their homes.
And with 35 people still missing,... officials warn the death toll may rise.
The fire, that broke out on Thursday, has turned nearly 90-percent of homes into ashes in one area,... forcing 52-thousand residents out of Butte County.
There are also two major fires in Southern California, putting more Californians and their property at risk.
Officials say low humidity, dry vegetation and high winds are spreading the inferno even more rapidly than normal.
