      Yeah I spotted that smoke plume too, according to Riverside County Fire the fires were reported within 8 minutes of each other. Kinda suspicious, imo.

      Saw one house start to catch fire before my husband and I decided we didn’t want to stay and watch someone’s tragedy. Really hoping that no more are lost, and that all the firefighters stay safe.
