Fire officials worry strong winds and storms from Tropical Storm Kay could further intensify California’s largest blaze of the year.

The incoming storm could dump rain on the fire — which would greatly help firefighting — but the system could also remain east of the flames, which would instead blow major winds toward the wildfire.

Cal Fire officials warned the fire would “continue to spread in all areas” because of the storm from Tropical Storm Kay bringing shifting winds.
“We’re still dealing with extreme winds,” Cordova said. “Our biggest concern is this weather system.”

What’s rare is that the blaze is raging as a storm system is traveling off the coast of Southern California, a California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection spokesperson said.

#FairviewFire (S/O #ValleVista, Riverside Co) - Significant push to the west now w/ multiple spot fires across west side of Fairview Ave from the origin to Fairview Ave @ Bautista Canyon Rd. Resources in there trying to catch spots.
#FairviewFire (S/O #ValleVista, Riverside Co) - They've managed to pick up the spot fires for now, resources maneuvering for structure defense too. There will be night copters assigned tonight per radio traffic.
#FairviewFire (S/O #ValleVista, Riverside Co) - This piece of fire is making a hard push in the flats towards Fairview Ave again (not sure from which side) w/ an immediate life threat, air support requested. Will impact the road & a dead grove in about 5 minutes.
Since there's currently 14 fires burning in CA, I think it's time we go over a reminder of defensible space. Once the heatwave eases, isn't it better to do it now, then to wish you had...later?

Plus, I'm always mindful that there are always people who are new to #California and have no idea what defensible space is. Here's what you need to know, and do to keep your property as safe as possible.

Due to the #FairviewFire in @hemetgov, the State Water Resources Control Board’s Division of Drinking Water, the Riverside County Public Health Department, and EMWD are advising the affected residents of east Hemet to boil tap water or use.
Do not drink the water without boiling it first: Bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one (1) minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water. Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking and food preparation until further notice.
If you are unable to boil water: Add 8 drops (or 1/8 teaspoon) of fresh, unscented, liquid household bleach per gallon of clear water OR 16 drops (or 1/4 teaspoon) per gallon of cloudy water. Mix thoroughly and allow it to stand for 30 minutes before using.
For those who'll be told to evac soon, here's some help of what to take.
Prep to go...
Charge cell phones, pack chargers
Include power pack/solar charger [if you have 1]
Pets! Take your pets
Gather meds, insurance papers, passport, vax cards...

If car is in garage, back it out & turn it around so you're heading out. Know how to open garage door manually. [power goes out when poles/lines go down] So know how to open it yourself. Throw in "to go" gear.

Have your pets ready to go. ALWAYS put them in a carrier/crate if you have'm never carry. Even the most placid pet will bolt when they smell smoke. Take food, leash/halter, bed/bankie, comfort toy & their meds.

This is what'cha do in a fast moving fire. You grab whatever you can, load livestock in & get them out of there. THAT is the important thing...not how they're delivered to the evac location.

Whether it's chicks/ducks, sheep, calves to evac but all rescue groups are busy? If you have a pickup, van or even a car you can get them to safety this way... I swear! #Usewhatyouhave
