(11 Nov 2018) Two people were found dead and scores of houses, from the celebrity mansions of Malibu to the mobile homes in the suburbs, burned in a pair of wildfires that stretched across Southern California. The two bodies were found on Saturday in a sparsely populated stretch of Mulholland Highway in Malibu, but Los Angeles County authorities offered no further details. It brings the number of people killed in the state's wildfires in the past few days to 11, with nine found dead in a Northern California wildfire. Firefighters have saved thousands of homes despite working in tough, windy fire conditions. Those vicious conditions on Friday night gave way to calm Saturday, with winds reduced to breezes. Firefighters used the lull to try to rein in the powerful blaze that had grown to 109 square miles and get a grasp of how much damage it did in its first two days. Officials said earlier that 150 houses had been destroyed and the number would rise. Some 250 thousand homes are under evacuation orders across the region.
