Death toll of California Wildfire jumps to 42

The current California wildfire that is being nicknamed the "Camp Fire" has already claimed 42 lives,  according to reports. This would make it the deadliest wildfire in California history. Although official numbers report 42 people dead, there are still reports of 228 individuals that are missing. It has also been reported that 7,600 homes have been destroyed, also a record high.
The fire ranges approximately 175 miles north of San Francisco, and has expanded about 125,000 acres. Only 30 percent of the fire is considered to be contained, and more than 52,000 people are under evacuation orders.
A separate fire that's being named the "Woolsey Fire" is burning in Southern California, near the Malibu coast. This fire has 200,000 people under evacuation orders, has killed at least two people, and has ruined 435 structures. The Woolsey fire is currently 35 percent contained.
Other states have sent in fire crews to help with efforts to stopping the fire. These states include Oregon, Texas, Georgia, and Missouri. There are currently 9,000 fire fighters trying to contain these fires. California has experienced two of the worst wildfire seasons in the past few years, many experts are saying this is due to the droughts in Western United States.
