Toll from wildfires reaches 33 on the US west coast

NEW YORK: Nearly all of the dozens of people reported missing after a devastating blaze in southern Oregon have been accounted for, authorities said, as crews continued to battle wildfires that have killed at least 33 victims.
The blitz of wildfires across Oregon, California and Washington has destroyed thousands of homes and a half dozen small towns, scorching a landscape the size of New Jersey and driving thousands of people from their homes. On Saturday, the sheriff’s office in Jackson County, Oregon, said four people had died in one of the wildfires.
