YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK, Calif. — The massive wildfire burning around Yosemite National Park is now 75 percent contained.

State fire spokesman Daniel Berlant says crews made good progress against the Rim Fire overnight, increasing containment from 70 to 75 percent. The fire also did not grow significantly, with higher humidity moderating fire behavior.
The blaze has now burned about 369 square miles.
Cal Fire is reporting that an evacuation advisory remains in effect for Ponderosa Hills and areas east, along the south side of Highway 108 up to Pinecrest. Highway 120 remains closed from Buck Meadows to 1½ miles east of White Wolf.
The fire, which has claimed 111 structures including 11 homes, began on Aug. 17 in the Stanislaus National Forest. Two-thirds of the land burned since then is located there. The cause is being investigated.
