WorldPeru: Fire on road to Machu Picchu kills one

A fire near the main access route to Peru’s Machu Picchu killed an elderly person and left two others with second-degree burns, officials said. The blaze began in the Sacred Valley on Friday and was attributed to controlled bush burning for farmland clearance. Hot, windy conditions and dry vegetation helped it spread quickly.
