CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. -- At NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a helicopter collects water from the Turn Basin to douse a nearby brush fire. The fire was spotted in a rural area southeast of Kennedy’s Press Site approximately three miles away from Launch Pad 39A, where space shuttle Endeavour awaits liftoff on the STS-134 mission to the International Space Station. The fire is being contained by crews from Kennedy and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and smoke is not expected to impact launch. Photo credit: NASA_Jack Pfaller
