Firefighters in California are struggling to gain control of a huge
wildfire which has reached the edge of Yosemite National Park.

.

Known as the Rim Fire, it covers an area of nearly 203 sq miles (526 sq
km) and threatens a major reservoir serving San Francisco.

.

The fire is now 7% contained, officials say, up from 2% on Friday.

.

However, officials say strong winds could hamper efforts to control the
blaze further.

.

"It's going to allow the fire to advance to the north-east," said Daniel
Berlant of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

.

More than 5,000 homes are endangered by the blaze, which began on 17
August in the Stanislaus National Forest.

.

More than 2,700 firefighters are tackling the flames in difficult terrain.

.

Evacuations, some voluntary and some mandatory, are taking place. Despite
the threat to thousands of homes, only a few have been destroyed.

California Governor Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency for San
Francisco 150 miles (220km) away as the blaze is threatening power lines
that bring electricity to the city.

.

The city's water supplies could be affected if the blaze reaches Hetch
Hetchy reservoir, which supplies San Francisco with 85% of its water. The
fire is burning some four miles away from the reservoir which serves some
2.6 million customers.

.

Two of three hydroelectric power stations serving the city were shut down.
