LOS ANGELES — The Oak fire near Yosemite National Park grew to more than 19,156 acres overnight, but firefighters appear to be getting the upper hand on the blaze with containment now at 39%, officials said.
The fire grew by a little more than 400 acres from the day before. This is the smallest increment of growth so far for the Oak fire, which has been burning for six days, said California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection information officer David Clark.
Most of the fire activity overnight occurred on the northeastern perimeter of the fire.
