Brush fire breaks out in Jurupa Valley

Firefighters in Riverside County are battling a wildfire that erupted in a Santa Ana river bottom Tuesday night. The Clay Fire, which was first reported at 5 p.m. near the intersection of Van Buren Boulevard and Clay Street in Jurupa Valley, began as a two-acre vegetation fire, though moved at a slow rate of spread into heavy brush and grew to nearly 40 acres, according to an alert from Cal Fire.

These fires are being set intentionally. This one was set before, I guess they came back.

All these fires are really close to residential zones. Hmm?

California has spent about $24 billion on homelessness over the past five years, but the homeless population has grown by 30, 000 to over 181, 000. A state audit found inconsistent tracking of outcomes, raising concerns about the effectiveness of the spending.

One of second fires that keep popping up. Unhoused people live there. Hopefully RPD could block access to these areas that people keep setting on fire.

homeless people live there... I'm pretty sure they set up the fire😂😂😂

[jasonmichelle]

I live in this area and a lot of homeless people live underneath the bridge right there. I have a strong feeling that they have something to do with it maybe on accident

[ricojr]

Someone is sitting fire around California 😆

[createyourshape]

The area is on fire but “shelter in place”.

[tamarasaldan]

What the heck does that mean “shelter in place” ??😮

[ddukelow-burton]

They got it out!!! We made it this time.

[jujitsuman]

Gee maybe it’s because the media pushes the idea of the perfect fire weather for the arsonist. 🙄
