Containment of the Colorado Fire has grown to 75% as firefighters hope to fully contain it by Wednesday, more than a week since the blaze ignited from a pile burning operation along the Big Sur coast.

“It’s warming up and we’re expecting winds, so they’re trying to get those hot spots out very aggressively so the wind doesn’t create flare-ups,” said Cal Fire spokesperson Cecile Juliette on Friday, adding that fire activity was minimal overnight.
