The Oak Fire continues to rage. Forcing thousands to flee, one of California's biggest wildfires this year continues to burn out of control after exploding to over 14,000 acres on Sunday. The Oak Fire erupted Friday in Mariposa County, near the small town of Midpines. The blaze was 0% contained as of Sunday afternoon, according to Cal Fire. The 2,000 firefighters battling the blaze will encounter tough conditions including low humidity, high temperatures, and steep terrain, Cal Fire said. The agency also dispatched 17 helicopters, 225 fire engines, 58 dozers, and 23 water tenders to fight the Oak Fire. Twelve miles east, firefighters made progress against the Washburn Fire near Yosemite National Park that threatened the park's largest and most iconic sequoia grove. The Washburn Fire is 80% contained after two weeks of firefighting. 🔗 Visit our link in bio for the latest on the fires. 📸 Justin Sullivan, @gettyimages; Noah Berger, @apnews
