Two more victims have been found in the large McKinney fire in northern California. This means that the death toll has now risen to four.

The bodies were found on two separate properties along Highway 96, one of the few roads in the remote region near the Oregon border, according to local law enforcement officials.

Earlier, two bodies were found in a burned-out car in the community of Klamath River. According to the authorities, the rapid fire has engulfed the entire community.
