Over his eight year career, dave wa wattkins as seen fires like this. I needed to see if it was standing or not. Reporter the idea of talking to us in front of his home was too much.

His gutted car was found near his home, but no sign of him. Up the highway, off gifford springs road, its a scene of total destruction. House after house, gone, with just a few spared in between. And the rain helped the 2500 firefighters here to put out remaining flames, it brings with it new danger like downed trees. And wet weather is welcome. Everyone is well aware its only temporary. We dont consider ourselves to be out of the woods until this is mopped up. And those p fires are gone. Then, well know everything is safe. Reporter cal fire says there are 7,000 homes still threatened by the fire. What theyre talking about is homes that have not burned inside of the burned areas.

Brand new gate. He tried to open it. The horse said no. Reporter just as a gate couldnt stop horses, the rain doesnt slow nor dampen the spirit for those learning of rain in the fire zone. Yes. If we can save one more house, that is all that matters. Reporter ponchos keep evacuees warm. Im out walking peoples dogs so they can take a shower and not have to worry about their dogs as much.

Along highway 49 through downtown angels camp, signs of gratitude for all to see. Its pretty moving to see the amount of energy that has gone into protecting peoples homes. Reporter 4800 firefighters are battling the butte fire. Many came from the bay area. California should be proud of their firefighters. Men and women here fighting this fire not only this one, but every fire throughout the state are putting out a tremendous amount of effort. Reporter so far, 230 homes have been destroyed. Thousands of structures remain threatened. Crews work to contain the flames. Reggie williams says fields are drier because of the drought. A reminder that a fire like this could happen in the bay area. One thing these fires have in common is that once they start they move fast. Its tougher to catch up with. Reporter some residents are approaching it with caution. Funny. Some of the things you think are important arent until youre forced to think about it. You can see the guys out there, fighting fires, youre thinking man, its a tough job they have. Reporter knowing conditions can change without warning.
