California wildfires: 42 dead as blaze becomes deadliest in state history - and conditions could get worseFirefighters are searching for more than 200 missing people as they battle three major wildfires ripping through California, leaving thousands displaced and at least 44 dead. Fierce, dry winds were expected to fan the wildfires into Tuesday, heightening the risk of fresh blazes from scattered embers as investigators fear an increasing death toll. The Camp Fire, the state’s deadliest and most destructive blaze on record has left at least 42 people dead and 228 people missing, according to local sheriff Kory Honea.
