California Wildfires Update: Thursday, November 15, 2018 - Duration: 3:34.

Hello everyone I'm Shawn Boyd in the state operation center here at Cal OES

headquarters outside of Sacramento. As of today there are over ninety-four-hundred

firefighters fighting fires in California, fires that have burned almost

a quarter of a million acres. Here's the latest on the three largest fires

starting with the Camp Fire in Butte County. It has already become the most

destructive and deadliest wildfire in California history. It's burned over

140,000 acres, containment is now up to 40%. Over 10,000 structures destroyed, 56

confirmed fatalities with still more than a hundred missing. The Woolsey fire

covering both Ventura and Los Angeles counties is now closing in on a

hundred-thousand acres, containment up to 57% and now three confirmed fatalities.

And firefighters continue to make great progress on the hill fire also in

Ventura County, the Hill Fire now almost fully contained. There are over 1,100

fire engines now on these fires, of those nearly half are local government engines

from all over the state, 18% are mutual aid and have come from over a dozen

states from all across the country. Cal OES engines make up 17% of the force

with CAL FIRE and federal engines rounding out the total. And now a quick

update on shelters in Butte County. The American Red Cross will take over the

operation of the shelter at the Glenn County Fairgrounds starting Friday

November 16th, overall there are nine total shelters and one on standby for

the Camp Fire, that information can be found at WildfireRecovery.org. For

survivors of the campfire a disaster recovery center will open on Friday

November 16th. The center will be located at the former Sears store in the Chico

mall. 1982 east 20th Street in Chico, the center will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

seven days a week, the disaster recovery center will have information

and resources for homeowners, renters and business owners who sustained damage as

a result of the Camp Fire. The California Highway Patrol has been providing mutual

aid since the beginning with traffic control highway closures and law

enforcement. The CHP is working with the Butte County Sheriff's Department and

Paradise to help clear roads and highways of vehicles that were caught in

the fires. They're safety hazards and once on tow trucks will be moved to a

staging area. They tell us they're all working well together it's team work

made better through relationships they've already forged. JOE PHIPPS / CHP INVESTIGATOR: "We work very well

with the local law enforcement so that team work early on we come up here we

know people face-to-face we know the communities and we can step in and fill

whatever role they need us to do." Now they're also checking cars for the

remnants of valuables left behind though at this point they may only have

sentimental value. Now if you need additional information on assistance

shelter or recovery you can find all of that information up-to-date and more on

our website wildfirerecovery.org. For all of us here at Cal OES and all of our

partner agencies working hard for you behind us, I'm Shawn Boyd,

Thanks for watching.

Image of the Week - California Wildfires - Duration: 1:17.

Satellites have captured views of the numerous major fires burning in California.

An image acquired on November 9 2018 from NASAs MODIS sensor on the Terra satellite

shows smoke pouring out of two major fires the Camp Fire and the Woolsey Fire

which both ignited the day before.

In the north the Camp Fire quickly became the deadliest wildfire in the states history.

Landsat 8 captured an image of the fire hours after it started and intense northeasterly

winds and dry fuels caused the fire to spread rapidly.

The Camp Fire burned over 100000 acres in just two days.

Over 6500 homes were destroyed most of them in Paradise a city of 27000 people.

In southern California Santa Ana winds fanned the flames of the Woolsey Fire.

This fire has burned over 97000 acres.

The enormous fire scar is the maroon color between the urban areas of Los Angeles

Thousand Oaks and Malibu.

The scar from the Hill Fire is also visible to the northwest.

Paradise gone, wildfire evacuees faced with rebuilding their lives - Duration: 6:08.

JUDY WOODRUFF: The tally of death and destruction keeps growing in the Northern California wildfires.

Officials now confirm 56 dead, up to 300 missing, and 8,800 homes destroyed in and around the

town of Paradise.

Cat Wise reports from nearby Chico, where survivors have taken refuge.

CAT WISE: A Wal-Mart parking lot in Chico now home to hundreds of wildfire evacuees.

Donated clothes and shoes have piled up in what is now a tent city, with daytime temperatures

in the 40s.

Matthew Flanagan is one of many who fled from nearby Paradise last week when the Camp Fire

destroyed the town of 27,000 people.

MATTHEW FLANAGAN, Evacuee: There are more evacuees, more people running out of money

for hotels. And families, they're staying with people, but they can't stay there forever.

And we tried to get back up to see our houses yesterday, and they say it's going to be four

months. So Paradise is gone.

JENNIFER FITZGERALD, Evacuee: Everything I have ever known is gone. All my family and

friends, all their houses and businesses.

CAT WISE: Jennifer Fitzgerald is here with her daughter, 7-year-old-Brooklyn. Fitzgerald

worked as a house cleaner in Paradise, but her home burned and she didn't have renters

insurance.

Do you have any thoughts about the days ahead, what's going to happen to you?

JENNIFER FITZGERALD: No. I have no clue, none. What can I -- I can't really do -- there's

nothing to do. I mean, all the good -- all the jobs are closed right now in Paradise,

so I don't know what to do. It's hard.

CAT WISE: Last night, the two slept in a car borrowed from a friend.

JENNIFER FITZGERALD: I'm just kind of bouncing around right now, staying in this car with

my friends, at friends' house, family's house. It just depends where I'm at that day.

CAT WISE: And you have your daughter with you, Brooklyn, who's 7. How is she doing?

JENNIFER FITZGERALD: She's OK. I don't think she really kind of knows what's going on yet.

I mean, she does. But she keeps asking where her stuffs that and why she can't have it.

CAT WISE: Another woman, Loretta Goodwin, is caring for her grandson. She has nothing

left, and is relying on donated diapers and stuffed animals.

LORETTA GOODWIN, Evacuee: We really thought we were going to go back. We should have got

this, we should have got that. But, yes, it was heartbreaking.

CAT WISE: It will take years to rebuild this area. Like many others, Suzanne Kaksonen worries

how she will afford a hotel or other temporary housing in the meantime.

SUZANNE KAKSONEN, Evacuee: I just want to go home. I don't even care if there's no home.

I just want to go back to my dirt, you know, and put a trailer up and clean it up and get

going. Sooner, the better. I don't want to wait six months.

CAT WISE: This makeshift shelter has so far been supplied and staffed by volunteers only.

But winter weather will only worsen the conditions here.

MAN: It's going to start raining shortly, and this is unsustainable if it's raining.

CAT WISE: The mental and physical health of evacuees are a growing concern as well. A

layer of thick smoke still hangs over Paradise and surrounding communities. Officials say

the ash and mix of toxic chemicals has created hazardous air quality conditions for the survivors.

Meanwhile, fire crews are making progress. They have now contained 40 percent of the

Camp Fire. And recovery teams continue searching the charred debris for bodies, with scores

of people still missing.

In Southern California, more than half of the fast-moving Woolsey Fire that burned through

Malibu is now within containment lines. But just 35 miles northwest of Malibu, still another

fire broke out this morning in the hills near Saticoy.

President Trump will visit California on Saturday to meet with people displaced by the wildfires

-- Judy.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Cat, we see you're still at that Wal-Mart parking lot. You talked to so

many people today. We heard from some of them just now. But what are some of the other people

saying that you have talked to? What are they facing?

CAT WISE: That's right, Judy.

We're still here at the Wal-Mart parking lot. And, frankly, the people we were meeting with

today, many of them didn't have much before the wildfires, and they're really struggling

now. We met with one older gentleman who told us he was a Vietnam vet and has COPD.

He's really having a tough time of it now with the smoky air. For the most part, this

camp has been run by volunteers. It is a bustling place at this point. But we're told by one

of those volunteers who has, frankly, been here for almost a week that they're a bit

frustrated that there hasn't been more of a government presence here.

We learned a short while ago that they're actually going to be closing down this camp

on Sunday, and part of the reason for that is they're very concerned about weather that's

expected next week. It's expected to rain, and these tents behind me are actually in

an area, I'm told, that floods after rain events.

So they're going to be trying to shift people into Red Cross shelters around the area.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Is it surprising that there isn't government help, that this is all volunteer

at this point? Because I would think these people are in need of so many things.

CAT WISE: That's right, Judy.

I mean, that's the case at this particular location. We just spoke a short while ago

with a Butte County spokeswoman, who told us there have been plenty of donations. In

fact, they're overwhelmed in many locations with donations.

But at this point, they really need financial contributions, and they steered to us three

organizations that are on the Butte County Web site, the North Valley Community Foundation,

the Schools Fire Relief Fund, the United Way of Northern California Camp Fire Fund.

But, of course, Judy, what's really needed now is shelter for these folks. And before

the wildfires, there was a less than 2 percent vacancy rate in Butte County. So where all

of these folks will be headed in the days and weeks ahead, that's very much up in the

air at this point.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, we can certainly hope at the very least, when people hear of these

organizations, they will -- some or many will reach out and make a contribution.

Cat Wise, reporting for us from Chico, California, near where those terrible fires were,

thank you, Cat.

CAT WISE: Thank you.

This is What Wildfires Look Like from Space - Duration: 1:40.

This is what wildfires look like from space.

Three fires are currently burning in California:

the Camp fire (125,000 acres) and the Woolsey and Hill fires (90,000 acres).

This picture, captured by NASA's Terra satellite, shows them sending smoke over and into the ocean.

Here's the Camp fire, captured by NASA's Landsat 8 satellite.

Active parts of the fire are highlighted with short-wave infrared light.

Wildfires are increasingly common in California, due to a growing population and Earth's warming climate.

In 2017, 1/4 of the state's people lived in moderate to high risk fire corridors.

In the last five years, California has seen three of its largest fires ever...

including Camp, the state's most destructive and deadliest fire ever.

More than 5.3 million acres of land have burned since 2013—roughly 5% of the entire state.

California Camp fire missing soars past 600 with death toll up to 63 US news - Duration: 3:17.

California Camp fire missing soars past 600 with death toll up to 63 US news

Authorities say figure up by 500 since Wednesday as more remains found in towns devastated by state's deadliest fire

Authorities say figure up by 500 since Wednesday as more remains found in towns devastated by state's deadliest fire

The number of missing or unaccounted for people in the northern California wildfire soared to 631 on Thursday, authorities said, an increase of more than 500 since Wednesday.

The news came as the death toll in the Camp fire increased to 63 after authorities recovered the remains of an additional seven people.

The remains were found outdoors and in the rubble of homes and cars in the towns of Paradise, Magalia and Concow.

One victim was found in overturned charred car in Paradise.

The revised official roster of 631 individuals whose whereabouts and fate remained unknown is more than double the 297 listed earlier in the day by the Butte county sheriff's office.

Sheriff Kory Honea said the list of missing would continue to fluctuate as more names were added and others removed, either because they turned up safe or were identified among the dead.

More than 9,700 homes have been destroyed, along with a total of 118 multi-family residences and 290 businesses. The fire has destroyed 11,862 structures.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency, Fema, is in the area to aid the more than 52,000 forced to evacuate because of the fire, which is the deadliest and most destructive in California's history.

The fire grew to 140,000 acres, or 219 sq miles, Thursday as crews managed to push containment up to 40%. Authorities were able to lift evacuation orders in some areas near Chico and Forest Ranch.

Wind conditions are expected to worsen this weekend.

It was a busy day for authorities in northern California. Police officers were involved in a shooting in an area under evacuation that left one man and two dogs dead, including a police canine.

The Butte county district attorney, Mike Ramsey, said the man was a 48-year-old from Berry Creek who was a suspect in a 2014 double murder. When approached by officers, he allegedly reached for a gun after saying: "I'm not going back. You guys should have left me alone."

Down south, the Woolsey fire grew slightly to 98,362 acres, or 154 sq miles, and firefighters managed to increase containment to 57%. The Los Angeles sheriff began allowing residents to return to certain parts of Malibu, and the smaller communities of Lake Sherwood and Hidden Valley.

The White House announced that Donald Trump would visit the the state Saturday to meet with victims of the deadly wildfires raging in northern and southern California.

Fire investigators have also identified a possible second origin of the Camp fire, the cause of which remains under investigation.
