PARADISE, United States (AFP) — A devastating blaze in northern California has become the deadliest wildfire in the history of the state, with 42 people killed, a sheriff said Monday.
“As of today, an additional 13 human remains have been recovered, which brings the total number to 42,” Sheriff Kory Honea told a news conference.
After originally saying it was the deadliest wildland fire in US history, Honea clarified that it was the deadliest ever in California.
