The Rabbit Fire, the largest of four wildfires burning in Riverside County amid the weekend’s extreme heat, continued to burn but wasn’t growing as of Sunday, fire officials said.

The fire near Beaumont, California ‒ about 30 miles west of Palm Springs – remained at 7,600 Acres and was 25% contained, according to a Sunday update from CalFire. Officials said they expected to fully contain it by Wednesday.

Crews were working to create containment lines as 152 structures remained under threat. None had been damaged yet.

Evacuations remain in effect

Numerous evacuation orders or warnings remained in effect, as did closures on Highway 79 and other roads.

A total of 88 fire engines, seven water tenders and numerous air tankers were used to limit the spread of the fire.

“Our goal is to strengthen and improve our containment lines and get around the body of the fire, most notably up in the head of the fire where we have several housing communities,” Incident Commander and Division Chief Josh Janssen said.

The cause of the fire was under investigation, as it was for the other three fires.

Work continues on Reche Fire

The Reche Fire, which erupted in a canyon north of Moreno Valley then burned 437 acres and destroyed at least one home, was 60% contained Sunday, according to CalFire.

All evacuations were lifted for the Reche Fire. That fire was reported at about 1 p.m. Friday in the area of Reche Canyon Road and High Country Drive, according to the fire department.
