|Updated:

Victims of the deadliest wildfire in California history sued the state’s largest public utility on Nov. 13 as search teams combed through ash and embers in what’s left of the town of Paradise.

What came to be known as the “Camp Fire” now has a death toll of 48 as of the night of Nov. 13, and has expanded to 135,000 acres. Firefighting crews took advantage of rising humidity and diminished winds to contain more than a third of the blaze.
