LOS ANGELES - The deadliest and most destructive fire in California's history was finally brought totally under control by firefighters, more than two weeks after it erupted, authorities said on Sunday.

The so-called Camp Fire, which broke out on Nov 8, is so far known to have killed 85 people.

Late on Sunday, the Butte County Sheriff's department increased the number of missing people to 296 from 249 - still considerably lower than the 474 reported missing on Friday.
