Calif. Wildfire Outbreak Kills At Least 11, Among Most Deadly In State [1]

"Dry conditions and gusting winds fueled a deadly outbreak of wildfires in California that quickly exploded through thousands of acres of forest and residential neighborhoods, killing at least 11, injuring over 100 and destroying some 1,500 structures while scorching nearly 100,000 acres of land.

It is already among the deadliest wildfire outbreaks in the state's history, and officials have said the death toll may go up as responders reach more areas that have been struck by the out-of-control blazes."

J.J. Gallagher reports for ABC News October 10, 2017. [2]
