The Tenaja fire in the Lake Elsinore area forced evacuations near the Tenaja Truck Trail and a warning for El Cariso Village.
A brush fire in Riverside County prompted evacuations Sunday afternoon, officials said. The Tenaja fire started at 11:48 a.m. near the Tenaja Truck Trail in the Cleveland National Forest, authorities said. It was mapped at 100 acres as of 1:45 p.m. Evacuation orders were issued for the area near the truck trail. El Cariso Village was placed under an evacuation warning. Ortega Highway was closed in both directions.
As of Friday, 5,435 wildland fires had burned 830,461 acres, compared with a five-year average of 5,325 fires and 583,913 acres over the same period, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. One person has died, in the Mina fire near Covelo last month. The state’s largest fire this year — and its fourth-largest on record — is the Park fire, which is now 78% contained after burning a 429,603-acre swath across Butte, Tehama, Shasta and Plumas counties.
