Two yellow clad firefighters battle a huge Florida fire in Big Cypress National Preserve as drought and heat fuel the blaze. With water drops from a helicopter and improvised smothering tools, they push to contain flash fires while wildlife and roads suffer. Officials say only heavy rain can end the effort as crews endure fatigue and stretched resources across Everglades and state lands.
