Number of firefighters quadruples to fight the Oak Fire
The number of firefighters now battling the Oak Fire near Yosemite has quadrupled in the last 24 hours. With slightly more than 14,000 acres of burn, the Oak fire has ballooned in size and is consuming property as it rapidly spreads through parched, drought-stricken land. Flying embers are creating spot fires, contributing to the growth of the fire.
