California wildfires cause helicopter crash deaths
Two pilots were killed in California after a helicopter crashed during a water drop mission to extinguish a wildfire in Yosemite National Park. The aircraft, a Super Puma, was engaged in firefighting efforts when it went down southeast of Ostrand Lake. Authorities are still investigating the cause of the incident. This brings the total number of pilots who have died in similar accidents this year to five, as wildfire suppression efforts in the United States intensify due to unprecedented weather conditions and ongoing drought.
