Grand Fire in Chino Hills Contained; Evacuations Lifted
Fire crews have made significant progress in containing the Grand Fire in Chino Hills, California, which ignited near Grand Avenue Park on May 13, 2026, around 7:00 PM. The fire quickly spread to 30 acres within an hour, prompting evacuation orders for residents on Mill Stream Drive, Falling Star Lane, Valley View Lane, and Sweet Grass Lane. Ground crews and water-dropping helicopters worked to control the blaze, which initially had the potential to expand to 200 acres. By 9:30 PM, the fire was holding at 30 acres due to cooler nighttime temperatures and increased humidity. All evacuation orders and warnings were lifted by 10:00 PM, though Grand Avenue between Grand Avenue Park and the city limit remains closed. One firefighter sustained a minor injury and was hospitalized. The National Weather Service has warned of elevated fire risks in the region due to moderate to strong winds and low humidity expected later in the week.
