Bay Area firefighters are called in to help battle the Oak fire raging near Yosemite. They are part of mutual aid teams being sent in from around the state.
Cal Fire has put out the call for help to battle a fire that, so far, has zero containment. Some of the requested help is coming from the Bay Area.
"The firefighters have been seeing extreme fire behavior, you know the fire is spotting two miles ahead of itself," said Natasha Fouts with Cal Fire. "And I just received information that they are already actively working. They drove through the night and got there and they are doing structure defense," said Carlin.
