The fastest-growing wildfire in the nation is now raging in parts of Yosemite National Park, CBS News correspondent Teresa Garcia reports.<br /><br />At nearly 200 square miles, the massive fire is swallowing everything in its path, threatening more than 4,500 homes, buildings and campsites and burning more than 125,000 acres.<br /><br />On Saturday night, officials in San Francisco were monitoring the situation closely.<br /><br />The fire is threatening some of San Francisco's vital utilities. The city owns power lines just outside the fire zone, and 85 percent of its water comes from the Hetch Hetchy reservoir, which is about 4 miles from the inferno.<br /><br />The flames have already shut down two of the city's hydroelectric power plants. Gov. Jerry Brown has declared a state of emergency.<br /><br />More than 2,600 firefighters and a half dozen aircraft are battling the blaze.carriehttp://worldgoesround.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211670216140060946.post-44635022545777119782013-08-25T11:05:06.103-07:002013-08-25T11:05:06.103-07:00I bet those tamarisk-beetle grubs are good eatin&#...I bet those tamarisk-beetle grubs are good eatin', too.Andrew Alden, Oakland Geology bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17369367151045054784noreply@blogger.com
