An elite crew of firefighters trained to battle the nation's fiercest wildfires was overtaken by the out-of-control blaze in Arizona, killing 19 members. The lightning-sparked fire, which spread to at least 2,000 acres amid triple-digit temperatures, also destroyed 200 homes and sent hundreds fleeing from Yarnell, a town of about 700 residents about 85 miles northwest of Phoenix.
