This interactive map shows where the Oak Fire is burning just outside Yosemite National Park in California’s Sierra Nevada Mountains.
Crews on the ground protected homes as air tankers dropped retardant on 50-foot flames racing along ridgetops east of the tiny community of Jerseydale. Light winds blew embers ahead into tree branches. Dry brush is allowing spot fires to develop rapidly.
Numerous roads were closed, including a stretch of State Route 140 that's one of the main routes into Yosemite.
