Hope fades of finding survivors from deadly California wildfires

As time passes the likelihood of finding survivors in the California wildfires is dwindling.

At least 56 people have died and thousands of homes have been destroyed in the state's deadliest wildfire in history.

But authorities are expecting that number to rise with an estimated couple of hundred people still missing.

US Correspondent Charles Croucher told Larry Williams the outlook is LOOKING grim.

"Having personally seen the devastation on the ground and how much the fire's scorched things, if people are missing now it's unlikely they will be found alive."
