Firefighters said Saturday they were getting closer to containing a 53-square-mile (137-square-kilometer) wildfire that had destroyed more than 20 homes in the mountains outside Yosemite National Park, AP reported. The blaze was about 80 percent contained Saturday morning and all evacuation orders had been lifted. Firefighters were focused on building fire lines on the blaze's north flank and said they didn't expect it to grow much more. The fire had destroyed 21 homes, forced the evacuation of 350 other houses and spread a smoky haze over the national park since it was sparked by a target shooter last week.
