California's deadliest wildfire 90 percent contained after 83 deaths, 153,000 acres burned

A wildfire that has raged in northern California for two weeks was on the verge of being contained on Thanksgiving Day, after 83 deaths and 153,000 acres burned.

California's Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said the Camp Fire, which has been burning north of Sacramento since Nov. 8, was 90 percent contained as of Thursday. Rain that started Wednesday and was expected to continue Thursday was likely to help further contain the blaze.

But the Camp Fire is far and away California's deadliest fire. It's responsible for 83 deaths, a number that could climb because hundreds are still missing.
