We believe we have the fire contained using the main fire roads. We will maintain a presence to ensure the fire doesnt spread further," Lynn Fire Chief Dan Sullivan said in a statement late Sunday.He said windy and dry conditions certainly made it challenging even as he asked people to stay away from the burned-out areas. There are far too many weakened trees, and we dont want the public to get injured," he added.
