 Paradise police say they will pursue criminal charges against a Camp Fire cleanup worker who posted photos of himself in destroyed properties that some are calling disrespectful. 
 
 The man, identified by police as Rob Freestone, worked on cleanup efforts as a third-party contractor for Pacific Gas and Electric Co., a spokesman for the utility company said. 
 
 Freestone appears to have posted several inflammatory images on his Facebook page while working in the Camp Fire area. 
 
 One post showed cleanup workers posing for a photo in a burned out RV. One showed a dead cat with a bottle up to its mouth. Another showed him jumping on a burned-out trampoline with the caption: "Trampolines are stupid. (By the way), it used to be called a Jumpoline until your mom got on it." 
 
 Screenshots of the posts were published on the Town of Paradise Facebook page Friday night. Paradise police public information officer Matt Gates said his department learned of the situation early Saturday morning after seeing posts on social media. 
 
 Gates said police have yet to interview Freestone, as that usually takes place after a preliminary investigation. And although Freestone has not been charged with a crime, Gates said police will pursue whatever criminal charges apply to his actions.

 One possibility, Gates said, includes Freestone being charged for being in an evacuated area. Normally, those rules have exceptions for authorized cleanup workers. But since Freestone was operating outside of his responsibility of a cleanup worker when taking the photos, Gates said those rules might not protect Freestone. 
 
 "It's shocking. It’s disheartening," Gates said Saturday, when the last set of evacuations was lifted for homeowners. "It’s the type of thing no one needs to see right before they come into town." 
 
 A spokesman for PG&E, Paul Doherty, said Freestone has been removed from Camp Fire cleanup. 
 
 "We learned of his reprehensible and unfortunate actions today," Doherty said. "Immediate action was taken, and this individual is no longer working with the Camp Fire response." 
 
 Freestone was fired from his job at Bigge Crane and Rigging Co. of San Leandro, according to spokesperson Jerry Tanaka. The company sent out a press release Saturday stating three employees involved in the incident had been terminated. 
 
 The press release reads: 
 
 We have identified three participants in this abhorrent event and their employment has been terminated. Bigge expects its employees and contractors to work with the utmost integrity and professionalism. The behavior of these individuals is not consistent with our company values and ethical code. Bigge regrets that the residents of Paradise and Butte County have suffered an egregious insult during an already devasting time at the hands of these three individuals. Bigge supports and appreciates all our surrounding communities.

 Three employees of a construction company helping to clear the wreckage of the deadliest wildfire in California history were fired after posting insensitive photos from properties destroyed by the blaze. 
 
 Photos posted Saturday to the Facebook page of the Town of Paradise, which was destroyed by the deadly Camp Fire that killed 88 people, showed workers posing with damaged property. One photo showed the body of a burned cat with a beer bottle placed near its mouth with the caption, “Dude… I was just chilling with my homies, having a couple of cold ones, and BAM… damn fire breaks out.” 
 
 “This is unacceptable and reprehensible behavior,” the Town of Paradise wrote on its Facebook page, adding that the Paradise Police Department was looking into criminal charges. 
 
 Construction company Bigge Crane and Rigging issued a statement Saturday saying it had identified three people who participated in “this abhorrent event” and that their employment had been terminated. 
 
 The company said in its statement that it “expects its employees and contractors to work with the utmost integrity and professionalism.” 
 
 “Bigge regrets that the residents of Paradise and Butte County have suffered an egregious insult” during an already devastating time, the company added. 
 
 An earlier post by the company said it regretted the “insensitive and reprehensible” actions of an employee named Rob Freestone. Bigge said Freestone had been removed from the Camp Fire recovery effort. 
 
 Pacific Gas and Electric Co., which subcontracted Bigge, did not immediately respond to request for comment. 
 
 Earlier this month, a civil complaint accused the electric company of failing to properly maintain a tower near the town of Pulga in Butte County, which allowed a live wire to come loose on the morning of Nov. 8 and touch off the devastating Camp Fire. ||||| (CNN) More than 1,000 people are unaccounted as California's deadliest wildfire enters a second week. 
 
 The death toll rose to 71 in the Camp Fire that started November 8 in Northern California. The list of people who are unaccounted for grew to 1,011 names, but that number may change once authorities follow up with families to confirm if they've heard from missing relatives, Butte County Sheriff and Coroner Kory Honea said Friday. 
 
 In addition to the dozens killed, three other deaths were reported in the Woolsey Fire in Southern California, bringing the statewide death toll from the wildfires to 74. 
 
 The Camp Fire -- the deadliest and most destructive wildfire in state history -- has destroyed about 9,800 homes and scorched 146,000 acres (an increase of 5,000 acres Friday). It is 50% contained 
 
 Hundreds of deputies, National Guard troops, anthropologists and coroners are sifting through leveled homes and mangled cars for remains. 
 
 Searchers work at a property in Paradise, California, where human remains were found Friday. 
 
 President Donald Trump is expected to visit the region Saturday. Gov. Jerry Brown and Gov.-elect Gavin Newsom plan to accompany him. 
 
 Smoke from the large wildfire has prompted several universities to cancel or postpone sporting events. That includes the University of California, Berkeley men's basketball game Thursday night, which was called off, and its football game, which was rescheduled for December 1. 
 
 'A lot of people don't know ... we're looking for them' 
 
 Honea has said investigators combined all the information they have received from callers since the fire erupted. Some names on the list appear more than once, and it's unclear whether others are duplicates, too, Honea said. 
 
 Officials have said it's hard to determine the number of missing. Some who may have evacuated can't be reached because cell phone service is unreliable, while others haven't reached out to relatives, and they may not know someone is looking for them, Honea said. 
 
 "I want you to understand," Honea said earlier this week, "that there are a lot of people displaced, and we're finding that a lot of people don't know that we're looking for them." 
 
 The Butte County Sheriff's Office published the list on its website. If people find their names on it, Honea said, or names of loved ones they know are safe, they're asked to call the sheriff's office. 
 
 For two days, Paradise police Officer Matthew Gates searched through ash and collapsed buildings for the remains of a woman. 
 
 When the Camp Fire broke out, a man told Gates his mother was likely driving on a jammed roadway that hundreds used to flee the flames. But Gates couldn't find her. 
 
 Gates finally came across her at an evacuee shelter. 
 
 "She had burns up her arms and I knew it was her," the officer told CNN affiliate KRCR . "I went and gave her a hug because I've been looking for her body." 
 
 Authorities are trying to reach those who called 911 to verify they've made contact with their loved ones, said Sgt. Steve Collins of the Butte County Sheriff's Office. 
 
 "We're asking people to call us if they do come in contact with their loved one so that we don't spend time looking for somebody that's already found." 
 
 'I see flashbacks of the fire' 
 
 A week after her family narrowly escaped as the Camp Fire closed in on the town of Paradise, Whitney Vaughan said she feels like giving up. 
 
 Everything she and her husband, Grady, own is gone, along with a home they were renting, "a quirky older house with lots of character and lots of room" for their six kids, she said. 
 
 Thankfully, her two kids and his children are able to stay with the other parents, but Vaughan said she and her husband are essentially homeless. One night they just began driving from town to town in search of a motel. 
 
 "So now we are homeless, have no money, are trying to find a place," Vaughan said. "And if that isn't bad enough, when I do close my eyes, I see flashbacks of the fire and the people trapped on our streets. The explosions and the screams will never be a sound that I can forget." 
 
 The "quirky older house with lots of character" that Vaughan's family was renting no longer exists. 
 
 Vaughan said she's worried about how she's going to explain to her 7-year-old daughter and 14-year-old son that she'll likely have to move away while they find some level of stability. 
 
 "There are just too many people in the same situation," she said. "I don't know what to do anymore. We have nowhere to turn. 
 
 "This fire has changed us in ways I can never explain." 
 
 3 deaths in Southern California 
 
 Meanwhile, the Woolsey Fire in Southern California has claimed three lives and destroyed 548 structures in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, said Cal Fire, the state's forestry and fire protection agency. 
 
 More than 98,000 acres have been burned since the blaze began November 8, while evacuees remain in shelters, and portions of Malibu and nearby areas must be rebuilt, officials said. 
 
 More than 3,300 firefighters are making progress against the massive wildfire, which was 67% contained as of Friday.

 More than 230,000 acres burned in California in the past week -- larger than the cities of Chicago and Boston combined. And in 30 days, firefighters have battled more than 500 blazes, Cal Fire said.
– Three wildfire cleanup workers in California have been fired for clowning around in the ruins of people's homes and posting what the town of Paradise calls "reprehensible" photos on social media. One photo shows the burned remains of a pet cat with a bottle near its mouth and the caption: "Dude… I was just chilling with my homies, having a couple of cold ones, and BAM… damn fire breaks out," NBC News reports. Another shows a worker jumping on burned trampoline, with the caption: "Trampolines are stupid. (By the way), it used to be called a Jumpoline until your mom got on it." The town recently began allowing residents to return after the devastating Camp Fire, which killed at least 88 people. The town of Paradise shared the photos in a Facebook post and promised that Rob Freestone, the worker seen in many of them "will no longer be working in our town." Bigge Crane and Rigging Co., which had been subcontracted by the PG&E utility for Camp Fire cleanup, says Freestone and two other workers have been fired. In a statement, the company said it regrets that residents have suffered an "egregious insult" at an already difficult time. Paradise police spokesman Matt Gates says the department is looking into filing charges, the Redding Record Searchlight reports. "It's shocking. It’s disheartening," Gates says. "It’s the type of thing no one needs to see right before they come into town." (A dog guarded the ruins of a Paradise home for weeks.)
