Firefighters working in searing weather struggled to contain a Northern California wildfire that continued to grow Sunday and forced the closure of a major highway, one of several large blazes burning across the U.S. West amid another heat wave that shattered records and strained power grids. Two firefighters died Saturday in Arizona after a plane they were in crashed during a survey of a small wildfire in rural Mohave County. The aircraft was helping perform reconnaissance over the Cedar Basin Fire near Wikieup, a tiny community of about 100, when it went down around noon. The two firefighters were the only people on board, officials said. The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash.More Related News
