Two firefighters die in growing LA wildfire
Shane | Aug 31 2009

The five-day-old wildfire burning out of control in the Los Angeles foothills and forest claimed its first victims on Sunday, two firefighters whose vehicle plummeted off the side of a road.

The fire scorched 7,000 more acres since day break for a total burned area of 42,500 acres. The flames threaten 10,000 homes and are encroaching on the region’s telecommunications nerve center. At least 18 homes have been destroyed.
