Smoking ruins and a mobile DNA lab: California wildfire claims 25, but death toll could climb


PARADISE, Calif. — Authorities called in a mobile DNA lab and anthropologists to help identify the dead as the search went on for victims of the most destructive wildfire in California history. The death toll stood at 25 Sunday and appeared likely to climb. Honea said the agency was also bringing in a DNA lab and encouraged people with missing relatives to submit samples to aid in identifying the dead. The death toll made the Camp Fire the third-deadliest on record in the state. Darlene Superville contributed from Paris.Some homes and other buildings in Paradise were still burning, and fire crews worked to put out the blazes.
