The death toll from California's Camp Fire, the most destructive wildfire in the state's history, has risen to 48, the New York Times reports.

"Already an all-time state record, it raises questions about how to warn people of a new type of fast-moving, rapidly spreading wildfire of the sort California and other areas are seeing more of as climate change, land use, and population growth combine to raise risk."
