Number of dead in San Fran

1000 by the authorities. The
exact figures will never be
known because hundreds OF
unidentified bodies have been
incinerated in the burned build

The estimate of the loss OF
life in cities and towns outside
of San Francisco runs from 500
to 800. The more conservative
observers say 500. The exact
figure on this phase of the ca.

burned in collapsed buildings.
