An out-of-control wildfire raging near Yosemite National Park has burgeoned into one of the biggest blazes this year, forcing thousands of Californians to flee their homes in remote mountain communities as the fire raged for a third straight day.Despite the efforts of more than 2,000 firefighters to contain the blaze, the fire, which began in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas Friday, was zero state fire officials conceded.Photos and video footage from the stricken region - a rural landscape home to nearly 18,000 - show the destruction left by the fast-moving inferno, which has spread east at a rapid rate, putting pressure on officials to contain the flames.
