In pictures: Devastation in Paradise

More than 600 people are missing after the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in state history

The fire raced with little warning through the town of Paradise - home to 27,000 people

Nearly 12,000 homes and buildings were incinerated in last week's blaze

What was left is a ghostly, smoky expanse of empty lots covered in ash

Search crews have been searching for human remains. More than 60 people have so far been confirmed dead

Some evacuees have set up camp in a Walmart car park. Others moved in with relatives or went to Red Cross shelters
