Firefighters battle blazes in California, 50 dead

PARADISE: Firefighters battled blazes in northern and southern California on Tuesday as recovery teams searched the remains of houses for victims of the deadliest wildfire in the history of the US state. At least 50 deaths have been reported statewide so far from the late-season wildfires, and with hundreds of people unaccounted for, the toll is likely to rise. Most of the fatalities have been caused by the so-called “Camp Fire” in and around the town of Paradise.
