Hot and dry conditions are fueling a wildfire emergency in California, with the French Fire near Yosemite forcing evacuations and firefighters battling triple-digit temperatures.
Over 1,000 residents in Mariposa have been evacuated, and the French Fire has temporarily shut down a main highway into Yosemite.
With 17 active fires and 145,000 acres burned this year, the situation is dire.
