HONOLULU (AP) — Honolulu firefighters are battling a brush fire after an Army drone crashed in the mountains near an Army base.
Fire Captain Scot Seguirant said Wednesday a Honolulu Fire Department helicopter was dropping water on the site in Central Oahu.
The Army says a RQ-7 Shadow Tactical unmanned aircraft system operated by the 25th Infantry Division crashed at about 3:30 p.m.

Porch says efforts are underway to survey the site.
