Carr Fire in Redding forces more evacuations

More evacuations have been ordered as a devastating wildfire torches an area in and around the Northern California city of Redding.

The blaze that broke out Monday exploded late Thursday and raced into small communities west of Redding before entering the city limits. 
 
Fire officials say dozens of homes have burned, though conditions make it impossible to determine an accurate count and the number could climb much higher.
 
A bulldozer operator on the fire lines was killed and three firefighters suffered burns. Some civilians also have been injured.
 
Mandatory evacuations were extended overnight to include the city of Shasta Lake, which has about 10,000 residents. 
 
Parts of Redding, which has about 92,000 residents and is the largest city in the region, also have been evacuated.
