MARIPOSA — The Oak Fire burning near Yosemite National Park in Mariposa County exploded on Saturday to become California’s largest and fastest-moving wildfire of 2022, as the blaze torched more than 9,500 acres of parched terrain and prompted evacuations of thousands of residents in the Sierra Nevada foothills.

What began as a small brush fire on Friday grew six-fold by Saturday afternoon, destroying at least 10 structures and forcing more than a third of Mariposa County’s residents to flee. As of Saturday evening, firefighters did not have any containment on the blaze and the cause of the fire was still under investigation.
