A wildfire in Yosemite National Park that has spread over 1,500 acres is threatening a grove of hundreds of giant sequoia trees, including some that are centuries old. The fire, now entering its fourth day and fuelled by timber and brush, is active in the Mariposa Grove, the largest and most popular of the park’s three giant sequoia clusters. The grove is home to some of the longest-living and tallest trees in the world. Nancy Phillipe, a Yosemite fire information spokeswoman, said the fire was zero percent contained and that there was not yet any estimate of damage to the sequoia trees. On Sunday, thick smoke lingered in the park and beyond it. Mandatory evacuation for the grove and Wawona, a small community within the park, remained in place. Communication infrastructure and numerous residences were still threatened. The firefighting effort has involved nearly a dozen helicopters and more than 360 firefighters.
