This article provides details about Camp Fire, one of the most destructive and deadly wildfires in U.S. history. The death toll has risen to 76, and an astonishing 1,300 people have been left unaccounted for. The air quality is characterized as thick and sooty, measured at 164 on the EPA's Air Quality Index in parts of greater San Francisco and well above 250 in Oakland. President Trump visited the area, walking through the ashes of what was an RV and trailer park.
Camp Fire draws parallels with Cedar Fire of October and November 2003. The massive wildfire destroyed 273,246 acres of San Diego County. The death toll from Cedar, only 15, does not compare with this year's 76, as mentioned earlier. Cedar destroyed only, about 2,300 structures, compared with Camp Fire's 9,000+.
