An Indonesian crew member has died and two foreigners have been rescued after a firefighting helicopter crashed into a river in South Kalimantan, Indonesia during a mission to control forest fires.
Officials say the investigation into the accident is ongoing and the firefighting operation will not be stopped.
Massive fires in Indonesia have been raging for months, fueled by the El Nino phenomenon. Parts of this Southeast Asian country have been caught up in toxic pollution caused by fires, and this pollution has also spread to neighboring countries.
