PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Philadelphia Phillies manager Gabe Kapler lost his home in the devastating California wildfires.
The Phillies confirmed to CBS3 on Monday that Kapler lost his home.
Kapler tweeted about the fires over the weekend.
“Many have lost everything in these fires, and even basic needs are going to be hard to meet,” the Phillies manager tweeted on Saturday.
The fires have killed 31 people statewide — including 29 in the Camp Fire that destroyed the town of Paradise– and nearly 230 people are unaccounted for.
Eight-thousand firefighters are battling flames across California that have scorched more than 325 square miles as dry brush and gusty Santa Ana winds fuel the flames.
