CABAZON, Calif. - Three firefighters were killed and two critically injured as they battled a wind-whipped wildfire Thursday that drove hundreds of people from their homes near Palm Springs, the U.S. Forest Service said.
The firefighters were trying to protect a house early Thursday when the flames swept in.
“The engine was in the area and with the wind conditions like they were, the fire just overtakes and burns the entire engine,” said Pat Boss, a U.S. Forest Service spokesman.
