A vast and voracious wildfire that has burned at least 80 homes in central California killed an elderly couple as they tried to flee, authorities said. The sheriff said his department hasn't been able to search very extensively and would be looking through burned homes with cadaver dogs seeking more possible victims. Officials said they expect to find many more homes destroyed as the smoke clears and they do a more thorough check of smoldering neighborhoods. Dozens of other homes were gone, left in piles of charred sheet metal and cinderblock foundations. She and others, exhausted Friday morning after little sleep in shelters and cars, were desperate for information about their homes.
