"York Fire: California's Largest Wildfire of the Year Engulfs Mojave Desert"

The York Fire in California has grown to over 77,000 acres, making it the largest wildfire in the state this year. The fire, fueled by dry vegetation and high winds, has spread into the remote section of the Mojave Desert, prompting road closures and threatening the desert ecosystem. Although no residents have been evacuated, three structures, including a historic house, have been destroyed. Firefighters are facing challenging conditions, but the wind has died down, providing some relief. So far this year, over 22,000 acres have burned in more than 3,600 wildfires in California.
