Third Body Found In Connection With Woolsey Brush Fire

The Woolsey brush fire has apparently claimed another victim.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department confirms the discovery of a body in the Agoura Hills area which appears to be related to the fire. The agency hasn’t released the specifics or identity of the person.

The bodies of two people believed to be fire victims were found outside of Malibu last week.

The 97,000 acre fire is now 47% contained.

The weather forecast calls for Santa Ana wind to ease through the day Wednesday, with the Red Flag Warning being dropped from the forecast Wednesday night.

The number of structures destroyed stands at 483, and is expected to continue to rise as survey work of the fire area continues. The target for full containment of the blaze is Sunday.
