California is facing an “unprecedented” wildfire crisis, according to firemen struggling to fight the blaze.
Only five percent of the wildfire has been contained, and strong winds in the state are creating fire-tornados that are uprooting trees and overturning cars.
This comes as three more people were killed by inferno – a great-grandmother and two children, as dozens of others remain missing.
A total of five people are feared to been killed by the wildfires – including a firefighter and an 81-year-old bulldozer operator.

At a community meeting in Redding, California, fire command spokesman Rick Young said 150 fire engines had been newly deployed to the blaze, many from out of state.
