Yosemite National Park, California –
California firefighters found land on Monday in a fierce battle with giant Sequoia Grove and a small community in Yosemite National Park.
The Washington fire on the west coast of Sierra Nevada burned about 4.2 square miles (10.9 square miles) but was still 22 percent contained Monday night, according to an incident update.
The fire was a threat to more than 500 mature squirrels in the park’s Mariposa Grove and the nearby Wauna community, which displaced.
The area south of Yosemite is closed to visitors, but the rest of the national park remains open.

Moisture control systems have been set up in the damp shrubs, and no serious damage has been reported to any of the designated trees, including 3,000-year-old Griezli Giant.
“Fortunately, Mariposa Grove has a long-established burning history and studies show that these efforts reduce the impact of high-intensity unwanted fires,” the National Park Service said in a statement.
Warning issued in Central Valley Friday.
“Fortunately, there are no faulty winds that affect the behavior of the fire,” said Fire Information Officer Mark Pibles earlier in the day. “We have high pressure above the top of the fire, which causes the temperature to rise. However, we get a good amount of moisture at night, which improves the behavior of the fire, which allows our firefighters to do a good night shift.
