As of this morning, the Rim Fire burning through Yosemite National Park has scorched 237,341 acres—roughly 370 square miles—since it caught on August 17th, presumably from an illegal marijuana grow operation. Firefighters from across the state and country have been battling the blaze nonstop and currently have the fire 75 percent contained. Crews credit better, wetter conditions for making the containment gains easier. But it’s their equipment that makes it even possible in the first place.
