Massive Rim Fire Continues to Reshape Lives and Topography

The blaze, now 134,000 acres, pushes into Yosemite National Park. Each
day, what it does depends on the wind.

GROVELAND, Calif. On Day 9, the sweeping Rim fire reshaped lives and
topography from pristine wilderness areas to a famed national park to
mountain communities that could be in the direct line of fire, depending
at any moment on which way the wind blew.

.

In Groveland, Abby Esteres nervously puffed on a cigarette Sunday morning
after her first night back in her Pine Lake Mountain home.

.

"I haven't been able to eat not knowing if our house burned down or not,"
said the 27-year-old housekeeper, who went through a week of evacuation.
"They're still not saying we're in the clear. But it's better. I ate
breakfast for the first time in days."

.

Near Tuolumne City, firefighters dug trenches, cleared brush, laid heavy
water hoses and started backfires to try to divert the blaze around the
town as they had in Groveland. Flames were visible from some roofs. A base
camp in the area could see 2,500 firefighters by Tuesday if the winds
continue to push from the southwest, said a fire official.

.

But even as firefighters worked furiously to hold a line outside of town,
officials warned that this blaze was so hot it could send sparks more than
a mile and a half out that could jump lines and start new hot spots.
Evacuation advisories remain in effect for Tuolumne City and nearby areas.

.

On the north edge, the fire now 134,000 acres pushed into the Emigrant
Wilderness Area and Yosemite National Park. It's the one side of the fire
with a natural last stand: Eventually it will run into granite walls that
have snuffed out fires in this region for centuries.
