TEHRAN, July 30-Conditions to fight the Carr Fire in Shasta County, Calif., have improved but evacuated residents are still not permitted to return home, officials said.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Conditions to fight the Carr Fire in Shasta County, Calif., have improved but evacuated residents are still not permitted to return home, officials said.
Six people have died so far in the wildfire, which started a week ago and took a surprising turn into the city of Redding. It led to the ordered evacuation of almost half of the city's 92,000 residents.
Seven people remain missing, officials said. Shasta County Sheriff Tom Bosenko said the sixth reported death was of an unidentified man who received an evacuation notice but did not leave.
Two firefighters are among the dead.
The fire moved into neighboring Trinity County Sunday, forcing the evacuation of all 1,100 residents of the town of Lewiston.
Although the scope of the fire increased Sunday to 95,368 acres, largely in remote areas, its containment has grown from 5 percent to 17 percent, Cal Fire reported late Sunday.
"We're feeling a lot more optimistic today as we've begun to gain some ground instead of always being on the defensive," said Cal Fire commander Bret Gouvea.
