California, Dhu-AlHijjah 04, 1436, September 18, 2015, SPA -- Two more bodies were found in the area of the wildfire burning near California’s Napa Valley, authorities said Thursday, bringing the total death toll from two northern California blazes to five. The remains have not been positively identified, but are believed to be two men previously reported missing in two communities hit by the fast-moving Valley Fire, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement. One woman died in the Valley Fire, and two additional deaths were recorded in the Butte Fire in the western state’s Gold Country in the Sierra Nevada mountain foothills. The two fires have been the most destructive in an intense wildfire season in California that is on track to be one of the fiercest on record, with much of September and all of October—historically the worst two months of the year—still ahead. The stronger of the two latest wildfires, the Valley Fire, erupted Saturday and raced through several communities north of Napa County, destroying nearly 600 homes and hundreds of other buildings. By early Thursday, the fire had burned 29,000 hectares and was only 35 percent contained, as cooler weather and light rain assisted the firefighting efforts, state officials said. To the east in the Sierra Nevada foothills, the Butte Fire was 49 percent contained by Thursday morning and burning more than 28,000 hectares, the officials said. --SPA 11:43 LOCAL TIME 08:43 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
