Obama called Jerry Brown for Rim Fire update

President Obama called California Gov. Jerry Brown on Sunday to receive an update on the wildfires in California, including the Rim Fire on the edge of Yosemite National Park, which has scorched more than 200 square miles and threatens the power grid that supplies San Francisco.

“The president expressed his gratitude for the brave men and women working tirelessly to combat this devastating fire,” the White House said in a readout of the phone call.
