Updated:8 years ago

California (United States), Oct 16 (ANI): At least 40 people were killed within one week due to the deadly California fires. The authorities hope weaker winds will help more than 10,000 firefighters battle the deadliest blazes in California history, which have destroyed thousands of structures in one of the state's worst natural disasters in years. Fast-moving fires, spread by shifting winds, forced thousands more to evacuate their homes on Saturday as the death toll over the week rose to 40, with hundreds missing.
