Governor declares state of emergency in Riverside county due to Cranston fire
Governor Jerry Brown declared states of emergency in Riverside and Shasta counties Thursday as fires burned at both ends of the state.
The declarations issued Thursday state that hot temperatures, erratic wind, and low humidity have increased the spread of both fires.
A wildfire in rural Shasta County in Northern California tripled in size overnight, and more evacuations have been ordered.
In Southern California, thousands remained evacuated as a suspected arson wildfire burned in the San Jacinto Mountains east of Los Angeles.
The declarations order the state’s Office of Emergency Services to provide aid to the counties.
