Forensic anthropologists with the Clark County Coroner’s Office have joined efforts in California to identify human remains in the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in the state’s history.
The two men and two women arrived in Butte County, Calif., on Sunday night and began working the next day in the towns of Paradise, Concow and Magalia, where the Paradise Fire has killed at least 42 people and burned some 195 square miles, officials said.
A total of 13 teams were searching for victims of the fire. It wasn’t clear how many people were missing, but the death toll was expected to rise, officials said.
