In Ridgcrest California residents dig in as the Sierra Nevada fire grows, burning 49,000 acres including Salmon-Challis National Forest segments. Firefighters report 10 percent containment and predict full containment by August 10, while Kennedy Meadows remains under mandatory evacuation. Generators power the isolated town as crews bulldoze a firebreak near historic sites.
