"Firefighters aggressively stood there and battled the flames," Lorenzen said with pride for his crew at a press conference.
The Hill Fire broke out in Jurupa Valley east of Los Angeles Wednesday morning, burning through 620 acres and initiating mandatory evacuations for residents of the Bravo Estates Mobile Home Park, according to Cal Fire.
Roughly 30 engine crews and 200 personnel on location fought to bring the blaze to 30 percent containment by nightfall. Los Angeles County's fire officials asked SoCal Edison to black out nearby power lines to prevent collapsed electric lines from sparking more fires. One resident sustained minor injuries and was taken to hospital, while one house and one mobile home were damaged.
In Riverside County, the Dexter Fire started at noon in the Santa Ana River bottom near downtown Riverside. Amid extreme red flag fire warnings and bone-dry conditions, it torched 30 acres and threatened numerous homes before the authority partially contained it using 25 fire engines from the city and other aid resources. No injuries were reported after an evacuation order was issued.
The latest one is the Castlewood Fire, in Fullerton of Los Angeles County, which was ignited Wednesday evening. Though it is small by California standards, burning only 15 acres, it prompted evacuation orders as winds turned the blaze toward residential areas.
Moreover, Mureau Fire, Brea Dam Fire, Soledad Fire, Brea Fire, Whittier Fire and Water Fire, which all burned over less than 20 acres, remained active Wednesday night.
