[Image description: a white and red helicopter tilted sideways over large houses on a hilltop covered with brown brush. Multiple plumes of grey smoke are rising from behind the houses, and flames can be seen on the brush on the left side of the photo.]
Two fires within pretty close proximity started within an hour of each other. Hawarden fire ~500 acres and Eagle fire ~450 acres. Godspeed to everyone fighting them
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.
