At least two people have died in a blaze that ripped through a Northern California town, said Siskiyou County Sheriff Jeremiah LaRue on Sunday.  

The two victims' identities are not revealed yet.  

Local firefighters are still working to contain the blaze that had sparked out of control at the start of the holiday weekend. 

Local authorities said that as of Sunday, the fire covered about 6.6 square miles (17 square kilometers) and was 25 percent contained.
