Butte County, California, Sheriff Kory Honea announced Monday night, a series of three massive wildfires in Northern and Southern California have claimed at least 42 lives thus far, making it the deadliest wildfire in the state's history. Camp Fire, the northernmost fire which has burned through 113,000 acres since it began Thursday morning, was only 25 percent contained by Monday. The fire rapidly wiped out the town of Paradise and outside areas over the course of several days before devastating much of Butte County.
