Oaks Blaze in Central California

Another wildfire has brought chaos to central California - and in quick time. 6.5 million square meters of forestry were destroyed within a few hours of the oak fire being spotted Friday, near the community of Midpines, in Mariposa County. The blaze has prompted evacuations and road closures and has now reached the Sierra National Forest. A local television station reported that emergency crews had received reports of people trapped inside their homes, and firefighters rushed to rescue them.
