Fires Burns East Of Temecula

AGUANGA, CA — Separate fires that erupted Monday in a travel trailer and storage yard at a mobile home resort and campground in Aguanga destroyed a travel trailer and consumed nearly three acres before being contained.

The non-injury blazes were reported at 4:42 p.m. in the Jojoba Hills RV Resort in the 45100 block of Highway 79, near Rainbow Road, according to Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department.

The agency said multiple engine crews were sent to the location and encountered flames raging in a travel trailer, as well as a storage yard on the west end of the facility, extending into vegetation on a hillside.

The flames were moving at a very slow rate for lack of wind, enabling crews to quickly encircle the fires with the aid of a Cal Fire water-dropping helicopter, which made a series of drops that proved effective, according to officials at the scene.

The two blazes were completely contained shortly before 6 p.m.

No evacuations were required.

The origins of the fires were under investigation.
