Castaner attends ceremony for pilot killed tackling blaze France's interior minister Chistophe Castaner pays tribute to a water bomber pilot who died while putting out a wildfire when his aircraft crashed last Friday. Regional prosecutors have said the fire -- which has destroyed nearly 800 hectares (1,980 acres) of woodland, heathland and vineyards in the area around the village of Generac since Tuesday -- may have been started deliberately.
