A WILDFIRE in northern California has grown to more than three times the size of San Francisco as it spreads inside the border of Yosemite National Park.

The out-of-control flames have caused tourists to flee and forced the evacuation of hundreds from homes.

California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesman Daniel Berlant said on Friday the blaze had grown to more than 427 square kilometres and was only 2 per cent contained.

Berlant said the fire threatens about 4500 residences.

While Yosemite remains open, the wildfire has caused the closure of one of three entrances on the west side, devastating areas that rely on tourism.
