Rim Fire roars toward Yosemite threatening thousands of homes
The Rim Fire near Yosemite National Park has grown to 42 000 acres in 11 days and now encroaches on a reservoir supplying San Francisco. About 3 700 personnel fight the blaze with bulldozers and air support. Containment nears 20 percent while authorities warn residents to evacuate or prepare to flee. The fire, among California's largest, has destroyed dozens of structures and prompted cross agency cooperation for possible reinforcements.
