WATCH LIVE: Deadly Hemet brush fire down to 2,400 acres as firefighters continue to fight through several hot spots
The Fairview Fire broke out Monday afternoon in the area of Fairview Avenue and Bautista Road and destroyed at least seven structures - several of them apparently homes - and damaged several others, according to the Riverside County Fire Department. The blaze was 5% contained as of 6 a.m.
"This fire was moving in an opposite direction that it would normally do on a typical day this time of year," the incident commander for the fire said. "So instead of a... southwest wind it was coming out of the east and pushed that fire to the west down Avery Canyon."
