A wildfire in the Jurupa Valley, which spread over 110 hectares Saturday and threatened residential homes, was 85 per cent contained by Monday morning, Cal Fire said.
Crews were reinforcing the containment of the fire in and around the Santa Ana River, authorities said.
People south of Limonite Avenue must be ordered to evacuate on Saturday while a assistance center was opened at Patriot High School.
But that order was downgraded to an evacuation alert hours later and all warnings were lifted by Sunday morning when flooding reduced the fire in northwest Riverside County to 40% contained.
As of Sunday night, the fire in northwestern Riverside County had been contained 65 percent, authorities said.
