Here's a view of the fire tornado from the sky:

The explosive blaze reached the city of Redding on Thursday night. As of Tuesday, the fire has engulfed over 100,000 acres and is 23% contained, according to Cal Fire, California's fire agency.

So far, the Carr Fire has killed one bulldozer operator who was contracted to help snuff the blaze and has caused burn injuries to both civilians and firefighters. Another firefighter died Friday morning, bringing the total death toll to six by Monday.
