CNN reported further details on the fatal crash:

Two members of a helicopter crew battling a wildfire in Yosemite National Park were killed when their aircraft crashed Sunday, according to the US Forest Service.

Precision, LLC, an aviation company known online as Flyprecision, posted Sunday that two members of its team had died.

“We are devastated by this loss and are struggling to find the words,” the company said in a statement.

Greg King, a pilot for Precision Helicopters, was identified as one of the people who died in the crash, the Alaska Division of Forestry & Fire Protection announced Monday.

The Eurocopter AS32 helicopter crashed just before 3 p.m. PT Sunday, according to the Federal Aviation Administration.

The helicopter crew had been contracted to the Forest Service’s Price Valley Rappel Crew in Idaho, but the pilots were conducting suppression operations on the Dome Fire in Yosemite National Park when the aircraft went down, according to Adrienne Freeman, a Forest Service spokesperson. They were the only people on board at the time.

Fox News reported on the current status of the blaze:

The Super Puma helicopter was using a water bucket to help suppress the Dome Fire when it crashed near a lake, Benjamin Cossel, a spokesperson for the Federal Complex Incident Management Team overseeing the firefighting response, told AP.

The FAA and National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash, with the NTSB leading the investigation, according to the FAA.

The crash occurred as hundreds of firefighters continued working to contain the Dome Fire, which started on Sept. 15 near Wawona, California.

About 580 personnel were battling the wildfire, which had burned roughly 4.7 square miles and was about 15% contained, the AP reported.
