SANTA ROSA (CBS SF) — The death toll rose to 21 in the devastating wildfires in Northern California wine country and surrounding communities, as officials feared that even larger conflagrations might be formed by merging fires.
In a chilling warning, the head of Cal Fire said Wednesday he anticipated that at least the two major fires ablaze in the Napa Valley will merge into a single massive fire.
Cal Fire Director Ken Pimlott told reporters the wildfires were a “critical, serious, catastrophic event” and then he issued the warning.
