DEADLY PARADISE FIRE FINALLY CONTAINED

A massive wildfire that killed dozens — and possibly hundreds more — and destroyed thousands of homes in northern California has been fully contained after burning for more than two weeks, authorities said Sunday.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said the Camp fire had been surrounded by firefighters after several days of rain in the Paradise area.

The nation’s deadliest wildfire in a century killed at least 85 people, and 249 are on a list of those unaccounted for. The number of missing dropped in recent days as officials confirmed that more people were alive.

Crews continued sifting through debris and ash for human remains.

The fire began Nov. 8 in the parched Sierra Nevada foothills and quickly spread across 620 sq. kms, destroying most of Paradise in a day.
