A brush fire broke out in the riverbed of the Santa Ana River in Jurupa Valley on Tuesday, Jan. 21 just before 5 p.m., burning at least two acres by 5:45 p.m.
The fire began burning in the riverbed behind the Western Riverside County/City Animal Shelter, between Pedley Road and Van Buren Boulevard, said Maggie Cline De La Rosa, public information officer for the Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department.
The fire burned in an area with heavy fuel as firefighters worked to contain it.
By 6:15 p.m., the fire moved west and began to threaten homes in the area. No evacuations were ordered, but residents of the homes to the west of the fire are asked to shelter in place, Cline De La Rosa said.
The fire broke out during red flag fire warning conditions caused by low humidity and Santa Ana winds.
A previous small fire, also in the riverbed, occurred nearby on Jan. 13.
