Charlie Morton identified as firefighter killed battling El Dorado fire
Veteran firefighter was the leader of the Big Bear Interagency Hotshot crew.
The Bobcat Fire has burned for more than two weeks and was allowed to become one of Los Angeles County’s largest-ever wildfires due to limited firefighting resources after it was ignited.
The fire is just one of the dozen other major blazes burning across the West Coast. The threat remains for more than 1,000 homes in the California area after it scorched its way through old growth down into the Mojave Desert.
