CHINESE CAMP, Calif. - New video shows the aftermath of a wildfire that destroyed part of a historic California Gold Rush town.

CALFIRE officials have named the cluster of 22 separate fires the TCU Lightning Complex fires burning in Tuolomne and Calaveras counties, which were sparked by lightning on Tuesday.

One of the largest of those fires has destroyed several buildings in the town of Chinese Camp, 20 miles northeast of Modesto.

Chinese Camp is a designated historic landmark town in the Sierra foothills, and has its origins in the California gold rush.

Authorities haven't yet laid out which historic buildings have been destroyed, or how many.

But video from KCRA in Sacramento confirms the town was heavily damaged, with several structures reduced to ash and rubble.
