Two fires within pretty close proximity started within an hour of each other. Hawarden fire ~500 acres and Eagle fire ~450 acres. Godspeed to everyone fighting them

Yeah I spotted that smoke plume too, according to Riverside County Fire the fires were reported within 8 minutes of each other. Kinda suspicious, imo.

Saw one house start to catch fire before my husband and I decided we didn't want to stay and watch someone's tragedy. Really hoping that no more are lost, and that all the firefighters stay safe.
