California Crews Contain Wildfire That Burned 4,100 Acres in Riverside County
California fire protection crews have made significant progress in containing a wildfire that broke out in Riverside County, burning over 4,100 acres. The Springs fire, located about 64 miles east of Los Angeles, was 45% contained as of Saturday. High winds had initially spread the flames rapidly, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a wind advisory. However, calmer winds and increased humidity have aided firefighting efforts. Approximately 260 personnel are involved in battling the fire, which has not destroyed any structures. Evacuation warnings were issued for parts of Moreno Valley, but only a few zones remain under warning.
