The Clover fire in the South Sierra Wilderness grew Sunday to more than 730 
acres.

About 60 firefighters and a helicopter are battling the blaze that is moving 
north, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
The drop in humidity and increasing winds caused the fire to grow. Hazy 
smoke can be seen from Kennedy Meadows, Ridgecrest and in the Kern Valley 
communities.

Firefighters continue to monitor the fire and assist hikers through the 
Pacific Crest Trail portion of the fire area during the day.
