At least 19 US firefighters have been killed battling a wildfire in central Arizona, local officials say.

The men went missing on Sunday while fighting the blaze threatening the small town of Yarnell.

The fire started on Friday but later spread rapidly amid high heat, low humidity and windy conditions.

Arizona and other parts of the western United States - including California - have recorded near-record temperatures over the weekend.
