Arson investigators looking into a quickly growing forest fire Friday in the Lytle Creek area of San Bernardino County found the badly burned body of a man, authorities said.

The discovery occurred on a day when a helicopter crashed while dropping water on the fire. The pilot was not injured.

About 5:30 a.m., investigators found the body of a man in an open field, said Sheriff’s Sgt. Frank Gonzales. An abandoned car was several hundred yards away, and both were near the origin of the fire, Gonzales said.
