List of missing people after deadliest Camp Fire swells to more than 1,000 in California

The list of people who are unaccounted for a result of the Camp Fire in Northern California has 1,011 entries, Butte County Sheriff and Coroner Kory Honea said Friday evening.

The sheriff said the list is imperfect and will fluctuate in number because it is raw data that needs to be refined.

The death toll is now 71 after eight sets of remains were found Friday, Honea said. Three other deaths occurred in the Woolsey Fire in Southern California, making the statewide death toll from wildfires 74.

 The Camp Fire -- the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in state history -- has destroyed about 9,700 homes and scorched 146,000 acres (an increase of 5,000 acres Friday). It is 50% contained.

A report from the state firefighting agency said: "Today firefighters continued to make progress."

Hundreds of deputies, National Guard troops, anthropologists and coroners are sifting through leveled homes and mangled cars for remains.

Smoke from the big wildfire has prompted many universities to cancel or postpone sporting events. That includes the University of California, Berkeley men's basketball game Thursday night, which was called off, and its football game, which was rescheduled for December 1.
