After burning for nearly a week on the edges of California's Yosemite National Park, a massive wildfire of nearly 200 square miles has now crossed into it, and firefighters have barely begun to contain it.
Flames of the so-called "Rim Fire" continue to shoot up toward the sky with the fire swallowing up everything in its path, reporter Anjali Hempbill of CBS Sacramento station KOVR-TV reported on "CBS This Morning: Saturday" from near the park.
"It's scary," said resident David Husid. "You just don't want to see your house go up. We've got so many memories in the last year."
Neighbors watched as a helicopter hovered over their homes, picking up more water to fight the growing flames as thick smoke fills the valleys.
