FILE - In this Aug. 20, 2018, file photo, the casket with fallen Utah firefighter Matthew Burchett is loaded into a fire engine after the funeral at the Maverik Center in West Valley City, Utah. The widow of Burchett who was killed when a supertanker dropped nearly 20,000 gallons of fire retardant near his position fighting a Northern California fire is suing Cal Fire and the aircraft company for alleged negligence. The Sacramento Bee reports that a lawsuit filed Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2019, by Burchett's widow, Heather, and son, Griffin, says the firefighter was in a "safe zone" when the retardant was dropped.
