OAKHURST – The Washburn Fire burning in Yosemite National Park will remain active in the coming days, but it will not directly threaten the giant sequoias within the Mariposa Grove, officials said.
In an incident overview Wednesday, the National Park Service said warm and dry conditions coupled with heavy fuels are “creating the perfect recipe for the very active fire behavior we are seeing.”
