Dozens still missing in California wildfires, more evacuees return home

By Paresh Dave SANTA ROSA, Calif. (Reuters) - Northern California search-and-rescue teams on Tuesday will continue to comb through burned homes for dozens of people still missing in the state's deadliest wildfires, which have killed at least 41 people and destroyed thousands of homes. Lighter winds were expected, a condition that has helped 11,000 firefighters control the flames that have consumed more than 213,000 acres (86,200 hectares), including wine country's Napa and Sonoma counties. "We're in a far better position today than we were several days ago," Calistoga Mayor Chris Canning told Reuters in a phone interview on Tuesday morning, referring to the Napa Valley.
