A helicopter drops water on the burning trees of the Esperanza fire in Idyllwild, California October 27, 2006. A deadly arson fire in rugged mountains near Palm Springs burned out of control for a second day on Friday, forcing dozens more people to flee their homes to escape a 15-mile (24-km) wall of flames. The fire has roared through this property over more than 24,000 acres (9,700 hectares), killing four firefighters and leaving another on life support.
