The deadly FairviewFire southeast of Hemet could be fully contained tomorrow thanks to moisture from the remnants of Tropical Storm Kay, authorities say.
The fire was 45% contained Sunday morning after burning 28,307 acres, causing two deaths and destroying 17 structures.
Although authorities reported a big decrease in fire activity, they also reported finding "creeping and smoldering fire'' in the area of Bautista Canyon and Avery Canyon. The area of west of Wilson Way, south of Highway 74, east of Fairview, and north of the fire perimeter had the evacuation order reduced to warning.
Large animals were being accepted at the Riverside County Animal Shelter at 438 S. State St. in San Jacinto, and smaller pats were being accepted at the Small Animal Care Center at 601 S. State St. The San Bernardino National Forest also issued a forest closure order for areas affected by the fire. The Riverside County Emergency Management Department declared a local emergency Wednesday due to the fire, enabling the county to apply for federal and state relief. The Board of Supervisors is slated to formally approve the proclamation during its meeting Tuesday. Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency covering the fire zone last week.
