LOS ANGELES — Two wildfires have burned more than 5,000 acres in Yosemite National Park, officials said.
The Red fire and Rodgers fire, both caused by lightning strikes, have been burning since early August and are not threatening any critical infrastructure or houses, according to the National Wildfire Coordinating Group.
The Red fire, which had charred 3,558 acres as of Thursday, led to numerous trail and area closures in the park, authorities said.
