Sacramento, November 19 (RHC)-- In the U.S. state of California, the death toll from the devastating Camp Fire has risen to at least 80, as the number of missing people jumped to more than 1,000.
The wildfire -- by far the deadliest in California’s history -- is now 65 percent contained after scorching close to one hundred and fifty thousand acres.
In Southern California, the Woolsey Fire, which killed three people, is now almost ninety percent contained after burning close to one hundred thousand acres.
As air quality monitors ranked parts of California as the dirtiest in the world, many low-wage workers, including farmworkers, along with poorer residents, and homeless populations are unable to leave or remain indoors and have been forced to breathe in the toxic air with little means of protection.
