Fires in California: 1011 missing, DNA collected from their relatives

Rescuers continue to search for the bodies of those killed in the city of Paradise (California), which in a matter of hours completely burned down in a wildfire raging in the state.

At the end of Friday, November 16, the death toll rose to 71, and the number of missing people exceeded one thousand, making up 1011 people, writes “Voice of America".

As of Thursday evening, 631 was considered to be missing, but after the authorities analyzed additional telephone calls to emergency services, as well as emails, their number almost doubled.

Officials said the search for victims could take several weeks.

Hundreds of lifeguards, dressed in white overalls, are searching for the remains of the victims of the deadliest fire in California.

Investigators with dogs are now searching the ruins of the city of Paradise, where 27 thousand people lived. Investigators have begun collecting DNA samples from relatives of missing people. More than a quarter of Paradise residents are retired, and most of those missing are 65 or older.

461 man and 22 service dogs are involved in the search. National Guard of California are also attracted.

In order to provide rescuers with access to destroyed structures, fire department teams help to remove destroyed buildings and roofs from their paths.

In the fight against fire in California 9600 firefighters, including from other states, are involved.

The area burned in fires is larger than Chicago and Boston combined.

Thousands of surviving people were left without their homes and now live in shelters and tent cities.

Mandatory evacuations were lifted in some areas as firefighters managed to extinguish the fire in 40% of the area. The improvement in the weather helped with this - it became cooler in the region and the wind died down.

The fire also poses a serious public health problem, as smoke fills huge tracts of Northern California, including Sacramento and San Francisco Bay. Dozens of schools throughout the region canceled classes, authorities called on residents to remain on the premises. San Francisco also canceled many public events.

Toxic smoke and ash are deposited on hair, skin and clothing. However, some evacuees do not have access to the soul and clean towels.
