At least 63 people died, more than 600 people were missing in the forest fire disaster in the United States
California's largest forest fire is still out of control, while rescue teams continue to find more bodies, bringing the death toll to 63 victims and more than 630 people missing.
The scene of a fire is like a 'battlefield'.
Paradise town and the surrounding areas of Butte County, California state are engulfed in flames. About 8,700 houses were burned and fire spread to more than 56,000 hectares. California Governor Jerry Brown described the scene of a fire as a 'battlefield'.
The fire began to erupt on November 8 and was only controlled by 40%, while tens of thousands of people were evacuated. The fire spreads at a rapid speed due to the dry weather and strong winds, estimated to be an area equivalent to a standard football field every 3 seconds, under RT.
Camp Fire in Northern California is expected to not be fully controlled before November 30. More than 5,600 firefighters are still fighting the fire and hundreds of equipment and helicopters.
Butte County Police began collecting DNA from people whose relatives were missing in the fire, to do identification tests when needed.
