SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 17 (UPI) -- Two men were found dead and at least one other was missing early Thursday after fast-moving wildfires swept through Northern California communities and leveled hundreds of homes.
Mark McCloud, 66, was found dead beneath the rubble of his home a few miles east of the town of San Andreas in Northern California. A second man, who was not identified, was found a few miles away in the remnants of his home. Both men had refused to evacuate as the fast-moving Butte Fire moved through their communities, destroying 233 homes.
