(Worthy News) – The charred remains of 14 more people have been found in and around a Northern California town overrun by flames from a massive wildfire, officials said on Saturday, raising the death toll to at least 23.

Only the Griffith Park Fire in 1933 and Tunnel Fire in 1991 have claimed more lives. [ Source: Reuters (Read More…) ]
