Apparently it couldn't be persuaded to vacation elsewhere. :)

Are you sure that this headline wasn't sponsored by Solidworks as a cruel way to denegrate PTC?

ivymike,

   They must have fixed it.  Now, the wildfire is just threatening homes.

   It is a good thing too.  I would just hate it if a wildfire threatened my vacation!

they sure did fix it... but it's not clear from your post whether you got the joke I was making about their phrasing. The humor, to me, was that their headline could have meant "The wildfire vacations in Yosemite and also threatens homes." (vacations - goes on vacation)

ivymike,

Oh, I got the joke allright. I was just abusing the ambiguity a little more.

gotcha... I wasn't sure, since your version seemed to match the intent of the writer.

"authorities temporarily shut down a 10-mile stretch of Highway 140 to keep flames from leaping across the Merced River canyon."

That must be how they stopped the fire from holidaying in the park.
