RIVERSIDE COUNTY, Calif. (KABC) -- All evacuation orders for two wildfires burning in Riverside County were lifted Friday.
A brush fire that erupted Tuesday in the Santa Ana River bottom in Jurupa Valley expanded rapidly in the direction of homes, leaving many residents under evacuation orders and warnings.
The Bain Fire was first reported at 11:22 a.m. Tuesday on the north side of the dry channel, in the area of Bain Street and Limonite Avenue, just north of the Hidden Valley Nature Center, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.
In the evening, the wind began to push the blaze toward the nearby city of Riverside, expanding evacuation orders and warnings to more residents.
While the fire continued to grow, the Riverside County Fire Department said crews made progress on containment lines around the perimeter.
Meanwhile, the Verona Fire burning in Homeland jumped containment lines and continued to burn, expanding evacuation warnings and orders for nearby residents.
It was first reported at 12:20 p.m. Tuesday near Verona Road and Juniper Springs Road, which is in an unincorporated, rural area between Diamond Valley Lake and Lake Perris.
The Bain Fire burning in Riverside County grew to 1,375 acres by Tuesday evening, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.
The fire is at 10% containment as air and ground resources remain on scene, working to build containment lines around the perimeter, officials said.
Evacuation orders and warnings remain in effect for nearby residents, who are being asked to avoid the area.
The Verona Fire, which is burning in the homeland area in Riverside County, grew in size on Tuesday night after crews previously said forward progress had stopped.
The Verona Fire was first reported at 12:20 p.m. in the area of Verona Road and Juniper Springs Road. It's an unincorporated, rural area between Diamond Valley Lake and Lake Perris.
By Tuesday night, it grew to 439 acres with 0% containment.
Earlier in the evening, crews said the forward rate of spread had stopped, and the fire was holding at 200 acres.
