More Than 1000 Reported Missing, 71 Dead in Northern California Wildfire
02:47 GMT 17.11.2018 (Updated: 12:23 GMT 06.08.2022) Remains of eight more victims have been found in Northern California wildfire, bringing the death toll in this disaster to 71, local authorities reported.
The number of people reported missing in Northern California wildfire has soared to more than 1,000, Butte county Sheriff Kory Honea said. The sheriff noted, however, that this was "raw data" saying that names might appear twice or three times in the list of unaccounted for individuals, while confirming every name in the list will require additional time.
