Yosemite Wildfire Rages after Motor Home Fire Forces Evacuations

Approximately 70 homes and two campgrounds outside Yosemite National Park were evacuated this weekend following a motor home blaze that began Thursday. The "Motor Fire", as they're calling it, has torched 4,700 acres and closed a 15 mile stretch along Highway 40. Entrances into the National Park have been closed, and nearby Trumbull Peak is being threatened. Currently 35% contained, firefighting aircrafts are now being deployed.
