California wildfires: Firefighters work to contain new fires as search for bodies continues

At least 44 people have died in the fires, with 42 of those deaths caused by the Camp Fire that has virtually destroyed the town of Paradise that 27,000 people had called home. The first victims have been identified – among them Carl Wiley, 77, musician Ernest Foss, 63 and Jesus Fernandez, 48, who died alongside his beloved dog King. Mr Foss moved to Paradise eight years ago because the high cost of living pushed him out of the San Francisco Bay Area, according to his daughter, Angela Loo.
