California Wildfire Blankets Sequoia National Forest in Smoke

California’s Rough Fire, burning east of Fresno near Hume Lake, grew to 16,390 acres on Sunday night and was zero percent contained. Cedar Grove, a popular holiday community, was placed under mandatory evacuation order. The fire began on July 31 as the result of a lightning strike and has scorched parts of the Sierra and Sequoia National Forests, and Kings Canyon National Parks. Credit: Youtube/Pat Hawks
