California wildfires: Five found burnt alive in vehicles after getting caught in the hellish blaze
Capt. Scott McLean of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said dousing the fire was futile and the firefighters are now helping individuals get out alive
Five individuals were found burnt alive in their vehicles after a North California wildfire spread rapidly, burning most of a town of around 30,000 inhabitants. The wildfire had flames moving extremely fast and firefighters were unable to get it under control immediately, said authorities.
Yahoo News reports that, just one day after the fire began near the town of Paradise, northeast of San Francisco, it spread nearly 280 sq kilometres and was completely out of control.
