There is a large wildfire that is blazing through Yosemite National Park towards San Francisco. This fire is threatening a national park as well as major urban area. If the fire continues to spread, San Francisco's water and electricity may be at risk. In fact, the situation is so bad that California governor Jerry Brown has issued a state of emergency. The fire has been called the "highest priority fire" in the United States.
UPDATE: October 2013
The fire has been put out, and has affected over 30,000 acres. The cause of the fire has been determined to be a camper's campfire.
