VTV.vn - The remains of six more victims were found on Tuesday in and around a northern California town overrun by flames last week, raising the death toll to 48 in a wildfire disaster already ranked as California's most lethal and destructive in state history.

The intensified effort to locate victims came on the sixth day of a blaze that has incinerated more than 8,800 homes and other buildings, including most of Paradise, a town once home to 27,000 people that was largely erased hours after the fire began on Thursday.

Just within a single day, the fire dubbed "Camp Fire" in the Northern California has destroyed 4,000 hectares of forest. More than 50,000 area residents remained under evacuation orders.
