The Fairview fire was 5% contained as of 6 a.m., says the Riverside County Fire Department. Temperatures are expected to hit 107 degrees nearby.

The fire consumed cars and blackened trees. Residents on Twitter noted that many in the area keep horses, complicating evacuations. Officials also reported additional road closures in the area. Brandi Swan with the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said that schools in Hemet Unified School District remain closed because of the fire. Winds pushed the fire west into Avery Canyon Monday, a surprising development for firefighters who said flames burned in the opposite direction that fire models and history predicted. The two people who died appeared to be attempting to flee before being overcome by the fire as it tore through the canyon, officials said. It is unclear whether the third person, who officials said was in the same area, was related to the two victims or from the same household. According to Cal Fire, 285 firefighters were on the ground, including 38 engine companies and one water tender. Fire officials on Tuesday morning said the fire has burned 2,400 acres and the cause remains under investigation. “Our thoughts are with those who have been affected by the Fairview fire, especially those who have lost loved ones and suffered injuries,” said David Eisenhauer, a spokesperson for Edison.
