Crews reported progress containing California's largest wildfire of the season, which has forced thousands of Mariposa County residents to evacuate as it threatens to destroy more homes and challenges firefighters amid steep terrain, officials said. The destructive Oak Fire started sometime after 2:30 p.m. on Friday near Highway 140 and Carstens Road by the community of Midpines, which is about 75 miles east of Modesto. Highway 140 is one of the main roads drivers use from the Central Coast to travel into Yosemite Valley. Cal Fire said Monday morning that "fire activity was not as extreme as it has been in previous days."
