It’s a small world after all: A raging wildfire in Yosemite National Park led San Francisco to declare a state of emergency on Friday. That may seem a little alarmist—considering the park is something like 150 miles away—but the City by the Bay draws its electricity and 85 percent of its water from Yosemite. The fire has since doubled in size and remains only 5 percent contained. (This after beleaguered U.S. wildfire managers sought advice and aid from both the Pentagon and Canadian officials last week.)
