CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES

Flames fueled: The Rocky Fire — the largest of the nearly two dozen fires torching California — destroyed 24 homes and 26 outbuildings as it continued to burn yesterday for a sixth day.

Officials have already said they believe the part is from MH370 because it was the only 777 plane known to have gone missing over water.
