THE fast-moving fires in southern California driven by the relentless Santa Ana winds are truly terrifying and destructive. The one they call the Camp Fire north of Sacramento has killed nearly 60 people, injured three firefighters and destroyed at least 6,500 homes.
After searching through the blackened aftermath of California’s deadliest wildfire, authorities believe that at least 1,000 people are unaccounted for and that total just keeps growing. Many of them are in their eighties and nineties living in pleasant forest retirement communities.
One problem is that wooden phone masts are being burnt down by the flames.
