The Soto Fire started around 7:48 p.m. and quickly grew to 10 acres, initially posing a threat to residential areas, according to Capt. John Clingingsmith Jr., a spokesperson with Cal Fire/Riverside County.
By 9 p.m. it had burned 30 acres, officials announced, but they soon clarified it was mapped at 25 acres, with no containment. They later remapped it at 30 acres again.
Evacuations were first reported in progress at Pebblewood Court, with additional orders quickly in place for Camino Real and nearby cross streets.
Despite the wind, Cal Fire said the crews were making progress and establishing control lines, and they would remain on scene overnight.
