Mariposa wildfire
Large plumes of smoke from the Carstens Fire block the sun in the Sierra National Forest near Jerseydale, Calif., in the Mariposa area on Monday, June 17, 2013. More than 700 firefighters are battling the Carstens fire which began Sunday afternoon and has burned about 1 1/2 square miles or 900 acres, California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Daniel Berlant said. With more than 140 engines and two helicopters on the scene, the crews have contained about 15 percent of the blaze so far that's burning in an area about six miles northeast of Mariposa off Highway 140, Berlant added.
