Fire burns near Yosemite National Park, Calif. (AP Photo)Firefighters in
California braced for another rough day Sunday in their efforts to gain
ground on a wildfire that has burned its way into Yosemite National
Park.Strong winds, some of which could reach speeds of between 30 and
40 miles per hour, could push the raging fire further into the
northwest edge of the park, threatening thousands of rural homes. More than
5,500 homes are already threatened and at least four have been destroyed.Meanwhile,
park officials are clearing brush and setting sprinklers to protect two
groves of giant sequoias. The iconic trees can resist fire, but dry
conditions and heavy brush are forcing extra precautions to be taken in
the Tuolumne and Merced groves. About three dozen of the giant trees
are affected."All of the plants and trees in Yosemite are important, but
the giant sequoias are incredibly important both for what they are and
as symbols of the National Park System," park spokesman Scott Gediman told
the Associated Press Saturday.The trees grow naturally only on the western
slopes of the Sierra Nevada and are among the largest and oldest
living things on earth.The Tuolumne and Merced groves are in the north
end of the park near Crane Flat. While the Rim Fire is
still some distance away, park employees and trail crews are not taking
any chances.Jessica Sanderson said one of her rel
ure of persecution has increased due
to the growth of Islam in the region.The relief effort will cost
about $120,000, with funding coming from private donations. Many of those
waiting to be air lifted out in the coming weeks have had
to endure a high rain season in refugee-like tent cities in the
Khartoum region.Since the South Sudan gained independence in July 2011,
Christians and churches in Sudan have faced increasing aggression. Church
leaders have been threatened, arrested and abducted, and many Christian
buildings and house of worship destroyed. In April 2012, a church and
Bible school also in Khartoum was burned to the ground by an
Islamist mob, and in June another church there was bulldozed by local
authorities.
