Firefighters in California are grasping at straws in trying to contain the extreme growth of Northern fire in Western states, forcing major highways to be shut down temporarily and killing two crew members of a small aircraft that crashed in Arizona last Saturday.
The Beech C-90 aircraft was doing a survey of a wildfire in rural Mohave County when it crashed around noon while observing the spread of a lightning-caused Cedar Basin fire, near the tiny community of Wikieup north-west of Phoenix. Unfortunately, the identified victims Jeff Piechura, 62, and Matthew Miller, 48, both died in the incident.
