More bodies are expected to be discovered as search teams comb through the wreckage of dwellings that were engulfed during a chaotic evacuation of populated areas along the path of the swiftly spreading flames, Ashland police chief Tighe O'Meara said.

“Every fire is investigated for the possibility of arson so that we can either determine it is or rule it out,” he said.
