The number of times the reporter says "uh" is appalling.

I just checked and no one is saying anything bout another aircraft.

So sad😢

Sympathy to their families & friends. Respects to all who fight fires. 🙏

I hope they were having the time of their lives, doing what they loved, exhilarated: heroically protecting everything they took under their wings, well done; bound to be taken under greater wings. Boots to fill with lessons to learn. Families lived dreading this would happen and accepted this possibility, words won't console them, honor their strength.

Why no one asking what it collided with?

This is heartbreakingly tragic. Afraid to hear who lost their lives. It really should never be first responders' crew members that should have to lose their lives doing their work. Prayers for their families and fellow crew members who are now suffering their loss. Wishing them all much strength. 🙏💫💖

Isn’t Native American land Federal jurisdiction land?

Was there a sky crane chopper involved? The rotor looks like a sky crane tail rotor.

May they be with the lord 🙏🏽 Thank you to them for everything they did to stop those fires!

I'm reminded of a 15 minute kids' program called "John Craven's Newsround" which would air at 4:45pm on British TV.
CBS treats its viewers like children. The content is ill-prepared, the 'readers are grammatically inept and quite devoid of any meaningful inflection or articulation?
I will not return.

That field reporter needs to look for another job. Too much repeating of statements and too many uhhs umm and uhh.
Condolences to all victims.

[zimmerman]

Hope whoever was piloting the drone gets prison time.

I wonder if a fire helicopter came to put out the fire helicopters fire.
