A wildfire that ignited Friday rapidly grew to 6,555 acres through Saturday morning in the Midpines area of Mariposa County, California, on the outskirts of Yosemite National Park.
Why it matters: The wildfire is burning amid hot and dry conditions during a long-running, extreme drought in the area, and it has already destroyed 10 structures, damaged five more and threatens 2,000 more, per Cal Fire.
