A blaze that started Thursday outside the hilly town of Paradise has grown and killed at least 11 people and destroyed more than 6,700 buildings, almost all of them homes, making it California's most destructive wildfire since record-keeping began. But crews have made gains and the fire is partially contained, officials said Saturday. Wildfires are burning in the northern and southern regions of California.
