23 killed as wildfires rage through California
- 5 years ago
At least 25 people have now died in California in what is being described as the U.S. state's most destructive wildfire in history and the third deadliest.
More than 100 people are missing in Northern California, as the flames continue to leave towns and homes in ruins.
The so-called Camp Fire, which began Thursday, is just one of three major wildfires that firefighters are battling across the state.
An estimated 250,000 people have been forced to flee their homes.
California Governor Jerry Brown has asked President Trump to declare a major disaster to boost the emergency response and help recovery efforts.
In a series of tweets in recent days, Trump has drawn anger by saying that poor forestry management is to blame for the fires.
But on Sunday, he did extend his sympathies to victims.
