REDDING, Calif. (KGO) -- A horse who survived the Carr Fire is back with her owners after she was found running through Redding's burn area on Monday.

The mare, named Elli, was caught on video evading capture by a group of construction workers who were trying to corral the frightened mustang several miles from home.
