HEMET UPDATE: FairviewFire now estimated at 4,500 acres as new evacuation warnings issued for this area: south of Cactus Valley Rd, east of Sage Rd, north of Red Mountain Rd and west of Bautista Canyon in Sage
The Fairview Fire broke out Monday afternoon in the area of Fairview Avenue and Bautista Road and destroyed at least seven structures - several of them apparently homes - and damaged several others, according to the Riverside County Fire Department. The blaze was 5% contained as of 3 p.m.
"This fire was moving in an opposite direction that it would normally do on a typical day this time of year," said Josh Ansen, Cal Fire's incident commander for the fire. "So instead of a... southwest wind it was coming out of the east and pushed that fire to the west down Avery Canyon."The two victims of the fire have not been identified, but Riverside County fire officials believe they were trying to escape the flames in that canyon.
The evacuation area was later expanded to include the area south of Stetson, north of Cactus Valley Road, west of Fairview and east of State Street. By Tuesday afternoon, the mandatory evacuation area was expanded once again, to: Thomas Mountain Ridge South to Cactus Valley to Bautista Canyon to the forest boundary.
