The Yosemite National Park has become the site of a massive wildfire. One of California’s largest wildfires in history, it has burned about 860 square kilometers of Yosemite National Park since Sept. 6, 2013. The gigantic blaze was caused by a illegal fire set by a hunter. Fires in the area had been made illegal due to the known danger of the dry weather in the area.
