A tanker plane crash has killed a firefighting pilot in Oregon as Western wildfires spread

Authorities say a tanker plane crashed in Oregon while fighting one of the many wildfires spreading across several Western states. A single pilot was on board and was found dead on Friday. The plane disappeared Thursday near the town of Seneca on the edge of the Malheur National Forest. Fires sparked by lightning are spreading across eastern Oregon and Idaho. And California's largest active wildfire is zero-percent contained after destroying 134 structures and threatening 4,200 more. A California sheriff says the Park Fire was started when a man pushed a burning car into a gully in a park in Chico. More than 4,000 residents have been ordered to evacuate, and by Friday the fire had burned more than 257 square miles. A 42-year-old suspect awaits a Monday hearing.
