US-FIRE-TOURISM
This photo obtained August 28, 2013 courtesy of the US Forest Service, shows a view from Pilot Peak lookout of the Rim Fire . The wildfire threatening Yosemite National Park is still burning its way into the huge US tourist attraction despite dogged efforts by thousands of firefighters using planes and bulldozers. Ash is gathering on the surface of a reservoir serving San Francisco, but officials said water quality has not been affected. The so-called Rim Fire -- California's seventh biggest ever -- now covers some 281 square miles (731 sq km) , an area bigger than Chicago. The fire, which broke out August 17, was still only 20 percent contained compared to 15 percent on August 26, 2013. Highway 120, a main road into Yosemite from the west, remains closed as more than 3,700 firefighters battle the flames.
