Wildfires - California
One of several wildfires burning across California prompted the evacuation of hundreds of people in a central California foothill community near Yosemite National Park.
More than 1,500 people from homes and four hotels near the community of Oakhurst have been told to evacuate, said Erica Stuart, a spokeswoman for the Madera County Sheriff's Office. Oakhurst is about 16 miles away from an entrance to Yosemite National Park.
A surging wildfire in Kern County some 50 miles northeast of Bakersfield was threatening buildings and bringing evacuations.
A fire in Wofford Heights near Lake Isabella has grown to about slightly more than 1 square mile.
