In the ending of August there was a huge fire in California. This fire is the third biggest fire ever recorded in California. The fire took place in Yosemite National Park, they called this fire the Rim Fire. A hunter was hunting the Yosemite National Park and they were illegally starting a fire, the fire had gotten out of control, it ended up spreading across 246,350 acres of land. The fire started August 17, 2013 and lasted for 5 days after that. No one had died from this fire but 111 buildings have been burnt down, 6 people have been injured in this fire and about 2,000 homes have been destroyed. The fire fighters in California have about 80% of the fire taken care of and they have put it out.
