Yosemite fire

In e past couple of weeks there has been a very large forest fire that has inflamed a very popular national park. This national park is known as Yosemite nation park. Firefighters have been at work for a long time trying to contain the fire. As of now, 80% of the fire has been contained. Here are some interesting facts about the forest fire: over 4,300 firefighters are at work trying to clear the fire, 111 structures have been destroyed including 11 homes, and it ignited an illegal marijuana farm. The nearby fire department has not found a cause of the fire. The fire has burned 370 acres of land for the past 18 days. It's the fourth biggest forest fire in California history. We don't know when the fire is going to stop, but it looks like its coming to an end soon.
