LOS ANGELES — Three wildfires continued to burn in western Riverside County early Saturday, scorching thousands of acres and prompting evacuations in some neighborhoods.
The largest so far is the Rabbit fire, which was reported at 3:26 p.m. in the community of Lakeview. The fire had scorched 4,500 acres with only 5% containment as of Saturday morning, according to the California Department of Forestry and the Riverside County Fire Department. An evacuation order was issued for about 25 homes north of Gilman Springs Road.
Another blaze, dubbed the Reche fire, was first reported just before 1 p.m. in the 9400 block of Reche Canyon Road — in an unincorporated area north of Moreno Valley.
