At least seven people were still missing in Shasta County, California, as the monstrous Carr Fire continued to grow Sunday, authorities said
Sixteen people had been reported missing, but nine of those were found safe, according to Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko, who spoke at a Sunday news conference
Redding Police Sgt. Todd Cogle said, "We're finding that there are a lot of communication issues" making it hard to locate residents
"We spoke with several people who left their cell phones at their residences and in this day and age people don't remember people's phone numbers," Cogle said
The fire, fueled by high winds and dry conditions, has chewed through 89,194 acres since Monday and is only 5% contained, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, known as Cal Fire
High temperatures, low humidity and increased winds are all in the forecast, setting the stage for more explosive fire behavior, Chris Harvey with the Cal Fire Incident Management Team said Sunday
he blaze doubled in size Saturday. Flames have destroyed 517 structures in the Redding area, Cal Fire said
The erratic flames are blamed for six deaths, including 70-year-old Melody Bledsoe and her great-grandchildren, 4-year-old Emily Roberts and 5-year-old James Roberts
The three had been missing since Thursday when their house was engulfed by flames
Family members confirmed Saturday that they died."With a heavy heart we are sad to inform you all that Mel and the great-grandbabies were confirmed to be in the home," the family said on a GoFundMe page
Another person was found dead after a fire consumed a house, Bosenko said Sunday."This fire is scary to us
This is something we haven't seen before in the city," Redding Police Chief Roger Moore told reporters Friday night
More than 3,000 fire personnel are battling the flames with more than 300 engines and 17 helicopters, Cal Fire reported
The fire began Monday when a vehicle suffered mechanical failure, officials said. Firefighters had been making progress containing it until Thursday night, when it began to quickly spread

Six dead as experts say California wildfires are out of control - Duration: 7:55.
The deadly Northern California wildfire that has forced tens of thousands of people to flee their homes and burned virtually unchecked since Thursday has claimed its sixth victim
Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko said Sunday a body was found within the boundary of the Carr Fire near Redding, California, about 230 miles north of San Francisco
He said the victim, who was not identified, had been in an area which had been covered by an evacuation warning, but had not evacuate as instructed
Bosenko said the sheriff's department has seven outstanding missing persons reports
The fire had previously claimed the lives of two firefighters, as well as two children and their great-grandmother
With the death toll climbing to six, authorities worried that another forecast for high winds could fan the flames even further
'Right now, it's going everywhere. We still have a lot of open line,' said Anthony Romero, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection
'Any event could bring this back up again.' The National Weather Service predicted more hot and dry conditions, with wind gusts expected late in the afternoon
Triple-digit temperatures and dry vegetation are making it difficult for crews to corral the blaze, which is said to be only five per cent contained
Wildfires around the state have forced roughly 50,000 people from their homes, said Lynne Tolmachoff, a Cal Fire spokeswoman
About 12,000 firefighters were battling 17 significant fires Sunday in California, she said
'We are well ahead of the fire activity we saw last year,' she said. 'This is just July, so we're not even into the worst part of fire season
'However, late Sunday afternoon, fire officials said that crews have been able to stop some of the growth of the blaze, finally gaining ground as opposed to being strictly in a defensive posture
California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection Incident Commander Bret Gouvea said the fire was not moving nearly as fast as it did earlier and that he was optimistic and expected containment numbers to increase
So far, the fire has burned 139 square miles (360 square kilometers) and destroyed more than 500 buildings, threatening thousands of other buildings
Keswick, California, a mountain town of about 450 people, was almost completely wiped out
The San Bernardino County Fire Department was called in to tamp down smoking piles of debris that were scattered amid downed electricity lines

Doug Miles said as his crew used picks, shovels and rakes to open up piles that just days ago were family homes
The flames laid waste to about 25 blocks, and the 'mop up' work was likely to take days
He said his crew would be looking for anything salvageable, but there was little left standing
Anna Noland, 49, was evacuated twice in three days before learning through video footage that her house had burned
She planned to stay at a shelter at Simpson College in Redding, while searching for another place to live
'I think I'm still in shock,' Noland said. 'It's just unbelievable knowing you don't have a house to go back to
'Noland was among the 38,000 people who evacuated after the so-called Carr Fire roared into the outskirts of Redding in Shasta County
The fatalities included two firefighters and a woman and her two great-grandchildren
'My babies are dead,' Sherry Bledsoe said through tears after she and family members met Saturday with sheriff's deputies
Her two children, five-year-old James Roberts and four-year-old Emily Roberts, were stranded with their great-grandmother, Melody Bledsoe, 70, when flames swept through the family's rural property Thursday on the outskirts of Redding
Eight-one-year-old Don Ray Smith was a bulldozer operator who was helping clear vegetation in the path of the wildfire when he died
Redding Fire Inspector Jeremy Stoke was also killed, though no details were provided
A vehicle problem ignited the fire July 23, but it wasn't until Thursday that the blaze exploded in size and raced into populated areas west of Redding before entering city limits
On Saturday, it pushed southwest of Redding, the largest city in the region, toward the tiny communities of Ono, Igo and Gas Point
The fire grew slightly Sunday to 139 square miles (360 square kilometers).It is the largest fire burning in California, threatening more than 5,000 structures
The flames were just 5 percent contained.The latest tally showed at least 517 structures destroyed and another 135 damaged, Romero said
A count by The Associated Press found at least 300 of those structures were homes
The firefighters killed in the blaze included Don Ray Smith, 81, of Pollock Pines, a bulldozer operator who was helping clear vegetation in the path of the wildfire
Redding Fire Inspector Jeremy Stoke was also killed, but details of his death were not released
Bledsoe's relatives were among more than a dozen people reported missing after the furious wind-driven blaze took residents by surprise and leveled several neighborhoods
The sheriff said he expects to find several of those people alive and just out of touch with loved ones
Officers have gone to homes of several people reported missing and found cars gone - a strong indication they fled
About 100 miles (160 kilometers) southwest of Redding, two blazes that prompted mandatory evacuations in Mendocino County destroyed four homes and threatened more than 4,500 buildings, officials said
They had blackened 39 square miles (101 square kilometers) and were each 5 percent contained
Authorities also issued evacuation orders in Napa County, famous for its wine, when a fire destroyed eight structures
The blaze had blackened 150 acres, but was 50 percent contained on Sunday.Big fires continued to burn outside Yosemite National Park and in the San Jacinto Mountains east of Los Angeles near Palm Springs
Those blazes had burned nearly 100 square miles (260 square kilometers).Yosemite Valley remained closed to visitors and will not reopen until Friday

California Thrift Trip // épisode 1 - Duration: 7:31.
Hello
My name is Victoire
I live in Paris
What i love the most in life is finding vintage clothes
I can spend days in the capital
looking for forgotten treasures
But my favorite thing to do
is the vintage hunt while travelling
I'm lucky to have turned my passion into a job
I've created Prologue Vintage with my friend Suzie
the culmination of our passions
And last month
I went in California for two weeks
[Let's see what California has in store for vintage]
From this trip was born the California collection
I went on this road trip with my boyfriend
When we planned it, we knew it would be more than just holidays
besides, I have never been as selective as for this collection
[That's a little bit too much...]
[It's too big]
In 14 days, we have traveled 1500 miles
hunt in more than 90 thrift stores
and review tons of clothes
and we loved it
Starting by San Francisco
[Wow, that colors are so beautiful]
More precisely, in Haight Ashbury neighborhood
That's where you can find the most of vintage stores
[I wanna die
in this dress]
But not really in my budget
So we started to look in thrift stores
[shelves, shelves, shelves, shelves, shelves, shelves]
It was hard at the beginning
[That's too big]
There were interesting pieces, but it wasn't "love at first sight"
Until this first piece
[This one I love it]
I really like this dress
Look at the transparent effect on the knees
and especially
each pearls are hand embroidered
It's hours of work
[I think it's coming in Paris with me]
The next day we went to get a car
and then...
[When it's actually less expensive to get a mustang
than a regular car with an extra GPS]
We did not really understand what happened but hey
we got a convertible!
The road trip could finally start
On our way we stopped in Santa Cruz
I found there two new pieces
That cotton skirt perfectly represents
the late 1960's in California
hippy vibe, floral pattern
pastel colors
we can feel it has a past
and then, there is this swimsuit
a real masterpiece
it's from the 80's
I love that buckle on the side
the draped effect
the color
the backless
in fact, everything
After those founds, we started looking for a motel
and made a stop in Monterey
The next morning, we wanted to try beans
[so much beans... In fact we are looking
at all the pieces
people have donated
before it's been processed
that's why it's so cheap]
We did not found anything
But we didn't quit and at the next thrift store...
[So beautiful]
[so, so beautiful]
I'm crazy about that backless
and that watercolor pattern with turquoise reflects
it's just perfect
it's not the only piece I found that day
Monterey spoiled me
Let me introduce you the perfect orange dress
by Calvin Klein
then, this really pretty raw silk shirt
I really love the pistachio color and the bateau collar
Before my trip I had the ambition to found some 90's Tommy Hilfiger
This one is perfect
It's a straight shape
100% cotton
made in USA
Last piece found in Monterey
and one of my favorite of this collection
[That is SO beautiful]
The bell shape, the shell neckline
the cross back
the waterproof material that makes the dress shine
It's the perfect little black dress
and it's also a Calvin Klein
After this successful treasure hunting
we took the road towards Morro bay passing by Big Sur
short break
a little clip from my first test for this video
That's mostly because it makes me laugh
[Sorry, english speaking people
I wanna put the subtitles
around here
Plus I know nobody understands my accent
so... it's better If I speak French and
you... you follow the subtitles
and that's it]
and here we go again
more fittings
and then a stop in El Capitan beach
Before the end of the day
we stopped for one last thrift store in Santa Barbara
It's a 90's Anne Taylor
another black dress
but this one is 100% silk
I love the extra material on the back
which makes it extremely sophisticated
It's the ideal dress for a special occasion
The next day we went to Ventura
close to Los Angeles
I found there the last piece of this episode
an authentic lifeguard swimsuit
it might have saved lives
We are at the middle of the road trip
and the middle of this collection
I hope you liked it
if so, please
like
share
and comment this video
You can also follow me on instagram
and discover the entire California Collection

and journey with you
See you soon

Incendio en el norte de California aminora su avance - Duration: 4:21.
Un incendio forestal en el norte de California que ha obligado a decenas de miles de personas a huir de sus casas, aminoró el domingo su avance después de días de veloz expansión, lo que alentó el optimismo entre las autoridades a pesar del anuncio del descubrimiento de una sexta víctima fatal
Funcionarios informaron que un segundo bombero murió cuando combatía un enorme fuego en el sur, cerca del Parque Nacional Yosemite
Brian Hughes, de 33 años, falleció después de que lo golpeó un árbol cuando trabajaba con una cuadrilla que eliminaba maleza y otros materiales inflamables cerca de las líneas del frente del llamado incendio Ferguson, dijeron autoridades de los parques nacionales
En Redding, las autoridades hicieron declaraciones de tono esperanzador por primera vez en días
"Nos sentimos mucho más optimistas hoy porque hemos comenzado a ganar cierto terreno en lugar de estar a la defensiva en este incendio todo el tiempo", dijo Bret Gouvea, comandante de incidentes del Departamento Forestal y de Protección contra Incendios de California, en referencia al fuego alrededor de Redding, una ciudad a 370 kilómetros (230 millas) al norte de San Francisco
Gouvea hizo declaraciones en conferencia de prensa acompañado de funcionarios de bomberos y la policía
El jefe de la policía del condado Shasta, Tom Bosenko, dijo que las autoridades encontraron una sexta víctima del incendio en una casa consumida por el fuego, aunque declinó precisar la ubicación
La identidad de la víctima tampoco fue señalada. La jefatura de la policía también investiga el paradero de siete personas, dijo Bosenko
La policía de Redding tiene 11 denuncias adicionales sobre desaparecidos, aunque muchas de esas personas quizá simplemente no se han comunicado con amigos y parientes, dijo el sargento de la policía de Redding, Todd Cogle
El llamado incendio Carr que ha asolado a Redding, de 92.000 habitantes, fue causado el lunes por un problema de un vehículo a unos 16 kilómetros (10 millas) al oeste de la ciudad
El jueves, las llamas atizadas por los fuertes vientos y la vegetación seca llegaron hasta la histórica localidad de Shasta, relacionada con la fiebre del oro, y cerca de Keswick
El fuego rebasó el río Sacramento y se dividió en la orilla oeste de Redding. Según la cuenta más reciente, el incendio ha destruido al menos 517 estructuras y dañado 135, además de arrasar con 360 kilómetros cuadrados (139 millas cuadradas)
De acuerdo con un conteo de The Associated Press, al menos 300 de esas estructuras eran casas
Después de días de reforzar las zonas alrededor de Redding, las cuadrillas antincendios estaban más optimistas de que la ciudad escaparía a mayores daños
El fuego no ha aumentado de dimensión en los límites de la ciudad desde el sábado, señaló Gouvea
