Tonight we have new information that hits home for many people in the east bay. Weve learned the fire has destroyed the berkley family camp. Thats seven miles from the entrance to yosemite. Nbcs Monte Francis has spent the weekend on the front lines of the fire. And it doesnt seem to be slowing down at this point. Reporter well, diane, thats right. Several camps are threatened by this fire. Were told that one has been destroyed. That is the berkley tawall me camp. It has been owned and operated since 1922. We found these photos taken before the fire on the website. Thankfully the camp and staffers were evacuated before hand and no one was hurt. Almost 3,000 firefighters are across this state fighting this blaze. More than half of them are here in tawall me sitting hoping to hold back the flames from this small community. A big change in tactics in the last 24 hours as the rim fire edges closer to the normally sleepy down of tawall me city. They set up a new base camp with a pop haitian of just under 2,000. The city is under an evacuation order, but only about half of the residents have left town. You can see that its not imminent yet, but we havent gotten a knock on our door. Reporter today strong winds pushed the fire now covering an area larger than the city of chicago farther northwest. But its not just strong winds that fire crews are up against. Were really concerned about firefighter and everybody out heres safety. And the steep terrain with rock slides. Thats really a concern. Reporter more than 20 structures, including some homes have already been destroyed. Almost 5,000 more are threatened. The fire is also threatening San Franciscos water and power supplies, because its burning dangerously close to the reservoir where the city gets 85 of its water. The fire also damaged try hydroelectric plants which provide power to San Francisco. Repairs are under way, and the utility says power and Water Service to the city should remain unaffected for now. Among the thousands of firefighters protecting the city, a strike team from San Francisco, taking a rest before another 24 hour shift that begins at 6 00 tomorrow morning. We stayed out for 24 hour shift on structure protection. Reporter the fire has burned several thousand acres. The White Wolf Lodge and campground was closed because of smoky conditions. The merced groves of giant sequoias are closed so that firefighters can work on prevention methods. The park is open and is mostly unaffected by the fire. The real concern is the small rural community, still in the fires path. Weve got land out there that weve just played in since i was a kid, my kids, my grandkids, my mother, my grandmother, and well never see that again. You know, its burned. Reporter and with the fire just 7 contained, there is a long road ahead for the firefighters here. I also should mention the San Francisco puc says there is a harm reserve of wat iron hand if the fire disrupts San Franciscos water supply. Live, Monte Francis. Ive been getting a lot of questions on twitter and facebook about this berkley tawal me camp. Reporter the u. S. Forest service has used the word destroyed. But at the same time theyre saying they havent had a chance to go in and do an assessment to see if any of the buildings have survived. So thats where it stands tonight, diane. Understood. And anthony slaughter is in the weather center. Its just 7 contained. Is the weather helping or hurting the situation right there . Unfortunately, the weather is not helping the situation. Theyre talking about dry conditions that have been in place really since january. And all of the brush around this air what is just so dry that it burns very easily. And the air itself, well, the humidity is really the factor here keeping things dry also as well. Youll notice that humid et only 10 to 20 . Not much in terms of whats going to help this fire go away. Surface winds are out of the northwest at 5 to 15. Winds aloft are about 40 miles per hour. So the characteristics of what actually is happening, this system is creating its own firestorm. Youve got updrafts, downdrafts. And the smoke around this fire is more dense than the air that sur on yous the fire. So its kind of acting as its own system. And thats why this is so hard to predict where the fire will go next with winds at the surface blowing it and winds aloft pushing it to the east. It has nowhere to go but continues to grow every single day by the minute. State fire officials tweeted out this map today. This reenforces how firefighters are being pushed to the limit. There are currently 1 fires burning across the state, the rim fire is the largest. And stay with us for continuing coverage of the rim fire both on air and on line.
