The Carr Fire was 41 percent contained as of Saturday. California Gov. Jerry Brown toured the region affected by the fire Saturday and said he had asked President Donald Trump to issue a major disaster declaration, which would make federal programs available to assist in the firefighting and recovery efforts.

I was looking at the map of the Carr fire and it has already gone as far north as the last place you can see Shasta Lake on Interstate 5 heading north only a lot to the West of it. It's northern location is between Lakeshore on Interstate 5 and Trinity Lake. I was looking at a map hoping it doesn't get as far north As Castle Lake which is my favorite Alpine lake at over 6000 feet on earth that I have been going to since I was 5 in 1953 with my father and friends.
Here is the present locator URL for a good map of the fire as of today:
