Yosemite Rim Fire expands as containment improves
The Rim Fire grew to about 223000 acres spanning Stanislaus National Forest and Yosemite backcountry, becoming the fourth largest in state history. Containment held at 40 percent as crews, including nearly 5000 personnel and 700 inmates, worked across California with over $60 million spent. Smoke briefly obscured Yosemite Valley, but winds shift reduced conditions and no further park closures were reported. Officials cautioned the cause remains under investigation with a possible link to illicit marijuana activity.

Japan moves to expand government role in Fukushima cleanup
The government seeks a direct role in cleaning the Fukushima Daiichi plant as concerns mount over Tepco’s ability to handle the disaster. Debates focus on whether Tepco’s toxic nuclear assets should come under state control while the rest of the company remains a power provider for Japan’s largest economic region. Officials urge a joint operation on water and decommissioning, with questions about who pays for what. Tepco’s struggles threaten reactor restarts and Abe’s economic plan as public worries grow over radioactive water leaks.
