The fire IS due to a plane crash, with 2 confirmed fatalities. DPS Ranger has been transporting rescue personnel back and forth on the mountaintop, with MCSO Fox Helicopter providing additional air support. The recovery effort will not begin until daybreak, as they had to use night vision and a second helicopter even to land on a pitch black mountaintop.

The media is already speculating about a connection between this crash and The Phoenix Open. Perhaps in the next 24 hours, we will know more about the crash and its victims.

I do feel for the victims and their families. They probably had no idea anything was going to happen due to the darkness.
