Need to Know
Since yesterday, the State Medical Examiner determined two previously reported fatalities were unrelated to the fires, reducting total fatalities from ten to eight. Both were identified as animal remains.

Starting today, operations related to mass fatalities management have been consolidated to a single mobile morgue. All subject matter expertise related to the examination of deceased individuals recovered from the wildfires will be located here. This group’s mission is timely identification of deceased individuals and reunification with family, as well as accurate reporting of mortality data.
