https://apnews.com/c3db54(...)w&utm_source=Twitterquote:Authorities have reported six more fatalities from a blaze in Northern California, bringing the total number of fatalities so far to 48 in the deadliest wildfire in state history.
The announcement came Tuesday after authorities ramped up the search for more victims buried in rubble left by the blaze that incinerated the town of Paradise.
Many friends and relatives of those living in the fire zone say they haven’t heard from loved ones. Some went to shelters looking for them.
More than 5,000 firefighters are still battling the blaze that charred 195 square miles (505 square kilometers) since it started Thursday.
The fire has destroyed about 7,700 homes and displaced 52,000 people.
The statewide death toll from wildfires over the past week in California has reached 50.
Camp fire in het noorden is "half contained". Voor zover ik weet wordt er momenteel geen nieuw bewoond gebied bedreigd. Toen de brand uitbrak werd ie door een sterke noordoostenwind aangewakkerd, maar ze hebben het vuur aan route 99 kunnen stoppen. De wind is nu afgezwakt, goed te zien op de EOSDIS aplicatie van NASA: op 9 november is het een smalle rookpluim honderden kilometers lang. Als je de tijdsschaal verschuift (onderaan) dan zie je dat in de dagen erna (behalve maandag 12 nov) de rook veel meer lokaal blijft hangen.

Hoe staat het nu met de brand zelf? Las eerder dat deze voor de 30e niet helemaal onder controle zou zijn. Of is het verder nu onbewoond gebied dat je er weinig over leest...
Californie was toch altijd al democratisch?quote:Op zaterdag 17 november 2018 10:27 schreef Eyjafjallajoekull het volgende:
Dat dodental komt nog wel boven de 100. En met die reacties van Trump op Twitter het dan gek vinden dat Californie nu naar de democraten flipt.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1933_Griffith_Park_Firequote:During the dry summer and fall of 1933, thousands of workers financed by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation were hired to clear dry brush and to build trails and roads in Griffith Park. On October 3, 1933, an estimated 3,780 men were working in the park, for a pay of 40 cents an hour. More than 100 squads of 50 to 80 men were at work in the park, each supervised by a foreman or "straw boss".
A little after 2 p.m., a small fire started in a pile of debris in Mineral Wells Canyon. Many of the workers volunteered or were ordered to fight the fire, but it spread up the canyon. Because there was no piped water in the area, the men tried to beat out the fire with shovels. Foremen with no knowledge of firefighting initially directed the effort, setting inappropriate back fires and sending hundreds of workers into a steep canyon. The fire department arrived at 2:26 p.m. but found it hard to fight the fire because of the presence of thousands of untrained people. When the wind changed direction at about 3 p.m., the fire rushed up Dam Canyon, jumped a hastily constructed firebreak, and advanced on the workers, killing dozens and injuring more than 100. By nightfall the fire was under control, after burning about 47 acres (19 ha) of the park's 4,200 acres.

PARADISE - Zware regenval en modderstromen zullen de zoektocht naar slachtoffers van de bosbrand in Californië bemoeilijken. Die vrees hebben de autoriteiten in Californië geuit. Vanaf dinsdag wordt er drie dagen slecht weer voorspeld rond het zwaar getroffen stadje Paradise.
Officieel zijn er nog 993 mensen vermist, en het officiële dodental van de brand staat op 79. De autoriteiten benadrukken dat de lijst met vermisten onnauwkeurig is.
Camp Fire, zoals de brand is genoemd, is nu al de dodelijkste en meest destructieve bosbrand in de geschiedenis van Californië. De branden hebben 61.000 hectare en 12.000 woningen in de as gelegd. Het platgebrande gebied is ook vatbaarder voor modderstromen en aardverschuivingen. Pas eind november verwacht de brandweer de bosbranden onder controle te hebben.
