USA Today reports that the Camp Fire in northern California has killed 23 people so far. There are concerns that that number will climb to 29 fatalities which will exceed a record set in the year 1933. Sadly, many of the people killed by the Camp Fire died in their cars and identifying them will be difficult given the severity of their burns.
In the southern part of the state, the Woolsey fire has burned down over 150 buildings and has led to the deaths of two people. According to USA Today, the fire combined with the Hill fire in Malibu and forced the evacuation of the entire city and led to the displacement of celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Lady Gaga, and Cher among others.
Officials fear that the fires could get worse because of predictions that the Santa Ana winds will pick up on Sunday and intensify the blaze.
