Family members and survivors of the deadliest wildfire in California history sought news on November 16 on the 630 people missing a week after the fast-moving blaze reduced much of the town of Paradise to ash and charred rubble. Drone video showed the burned remains of homes ravaged in the fire. At least 63 people were killed in and around Paradise, which was virtually destroyed by the Camp Fire, a blaze that erupted November 8 in the Sierra foothills, 175 miles (280 km) north of San Francisco. The fire is among the deadliest to have hit the United States over the last century. With nearly 12,000 homes and buildings burned, fire refugees have taken up residence in tents or their vehicles and filled evacuation centers to overflowing. Search teams, meanwhile, are combing through burned-out areas looking for bodies - or anything that might carry human DNA. Officials say many of those unaccounted for have likely survived but not yet notified family or authorities that they are alive.
