Last night, firefighters worked aggressively to build containment lines around the Carr Fire. Red Flag Warning and heat advisory are in effect for the area. The winds, high temperatures and dry vegetation still have the potential to fuel fire growth. Fire Spread has been active in all directions and has made significant runs.
