UPDATE | Wildfire Burning Near Mariposa Grove Of Giant Sequoias At Yosemite

Yosemite National Park's famous Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias was threatened Saturday by a growing wildfire that led to the evacuation of not just the grove but the nearby Wawona area. While more than 200 firefighters were trying to tackle the 703-acre Washburn fire, weather conditions were not helpful, as the forecast called for growing temperatures and reduced humidity through the weekend.
