At least five people have been found dead in the town of Paradise, California, after a fire raged through the area. Investigators discovered the victims trapped in vehicles that were overtaken by the fire.

Butte County Sheriff Kory L. Honea said they could not immediately be identified because they were burned so badly.

“There were people who weren’t able to get out,” Honea said, speaking from a makeshift command post while flakes of ash from nearby burning ridges fell on his uniform as he talked. 

Its reported Paradise’s business district was gone. One hospital had burned. The McDonald’s and the Ace Hardware store were engulfed in flames. The high school was lost and at least one of the elementary schools.

Fast-moving wildfires prompted tens of thousands of evacuations in both Northern and Southern California, including the entire beachside city of Malibu, sending residents fleeing for their lives on short notice.

“Right now, Mother Nature is in charge,” Cal Fire spokesman Bryce Bennett said.

Some residents were forced to drive through the flames and thick smoke just to survive and some did not make it.

On resident said in tears “the whole hill’s on fire. God help us!”
