The massive Dixie and Caldor fires burning in the Sierra are now about 65% contained, but crews says the threat of spread is increasing as the moisture from recent rainfall dries up, making forest fuels more flammable, and high winds are forecast for the coming days.

Firefighters continued to make progress on the Caldor Fire, reaching 65% containment as of this morning, and holding the lines south of the Tahoe Basin and east of the Kirkwood Mountain Resort.
