"Most people here, this is all they had," said Daniel O'Brien, 53, who lost two rental mobile homes. About 2,000 firefighters increased containment on the nearly 68-square-mile blaze to 40 percent, federal fire officials said Sunday evening. Crews made progress against a wildfire that killed two people and destroyed 200 homes as it tore through mountain communities in central California, leaving little time for residents to flee the fast-moving flames. But the death toll could rise as cadaver dogs search for remains in neighborhoods occupied by many retirees on fixed incomes, officials warned. An elderly couple apparently was overcome by smoke as they tried to flee, Kern County Sheriff Donny Youngblood said.
