Aug 24 (Reuters) - Firefighters on Saturday battled to gain
control of a fast-moving wildfire raging on the edge of Yosemite
National Park that is threatening power and water supplies to
San Francisco about 200 miles (322 km) to the west.
The so-called Rim Fire, which had grown to just over 125,000
acres (50,585 hectares) as of early Saturday, remained largely
unchecked with extreme terrain hampering efforts at containment.
"We are making progress but unfortunately the steep terrain
definitely has posed a major challenge," said Daniel Berlant, a
spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire
Protection.
"Today we're continuing to see warm weather that could allow
this fire to continue to grow very rapidly as it has over the
last several days," Berlant said.
California Governor Jerry Brown on Friday declared a state of
emergency, warning that the fire had damaged the electrical
infrastructure serving the city, and forced the San Francisco
Public Utilities Commission to shut down power lines.
There have been no reports of blackouts in San Francisco.
Ashley Taylor, a spokeswoman for the U.S. Forest Service, said
high humidity and firefighting efforts through the night had
helped some.
"Firefighters are still working with the same difficult
situation, and they're really taking every opportunity they can
to take hold of this fire," Taylor said. "They're working very
hard to take this down."
The Hetch Hetchy Reservoir provides water to 2.6 million
customers in the San Francisco area, and Brown in his
declaration said the city's water supply could be affected if
the blaze affects the reservoir.
On Friday, the fire was about 4 miles (6.4 km) west of the
reservoir and some 20 miles (32 km) from Yosemite Valley, the
park's main tourist center. It was consuming brush, oaks and
pine and was about 5 percent contained as of late Friday.
