Wildfire prompts evacuation of camp area in Riverside County
A wildfire burning in Riverside County has prompted the evacuation of a campground but no structures are threatened.
The blaze erupted Wednesday night in Moreno Valley, about 70 miles east of Los Angeles.
The fire has blackened 150 acres of dry brush. Authorities say it’s heading toward Lake Perris State Park, where a group camp area has been evacuated.
More than 200 state and county firefighters are attacking the blaze, which is 10 percent contained early Thursday.
There’s no word on what sparked the fire. No injuries have been reported.
Meanwhile a 49-square-mile wildfire burning for nearly 2 weeks in the San Bernardino National Forest is 70 percent contained.
