(AP) — A wildfire that surged early and led to mass evacuations around a community near Yosemite National Park was tamed by firefighters, and the remaining evacuees were expected to return to their homes on Wednesday. Eight structures, including two commercial buildings, were destroyed, and two firefighters suffered minor injuries. The fire comes amid California's third straight year of drought, creating tinder-dry conditions that have significantly increased the fire danger around the state and sent firefighters scrambling seemingly nonstop from blaze to blaze. The wildfire burning near Lake Isabella in Kern County grew exponentially Monday, but was 5 percent contained Tuesday after scorching some 5 square miles, or 3,367 acres.
