Grows the hope in combating fire in Yosemite National Park

The lowering of temperatures and wind strength in California, this Friday, plays in favor of the firefighters fighting the blaze in Yosemite National Park. The fire that began on August 17 has burned more than 80 thousand hectares of forest.

The peacekeepers have made some progress to prevent the flames from reaching the heart of the Park. The use of unmanned aircraft has contributed decisively in the fight against fire, as explita Commander Jeremy Salizzoni: "it's a very big fire in a remote area. So it's almost impossible to show all fronts. With this platform we have managed to have eyes on the perimeter of fairly accurate shape, with very little effort. "

This forest fire is already the fifth largest in California history. This morning about one third was circumscribed. Combating fire involved, so far, close to 4,300 men and cost 47 million dollars.
