The pyrite fire is not contained yet.
00:01
Only 20 percent.
00:02
It's jumped over 520 acres.
00:05
So you're still going to get some smoky air running around the region.
00:09
And over near me, there was a crump fire, strange name for a fire, but it ended up being 55 acres before they got it under control.
00:16
I could see the smoke from my house.
00:18
That was on Highway 74 west of Lake Elsinore.
00:22
And then there was a tiny quarter acre fire near Canyon Lake.
00:25
I saw the smoke come up from that one and realized it wasn't getting out of hand, and it's gone now.
00:31
But that crumb fire is going to be spreading some bad air throughout the inland empire.
00:35
So if you're at lower elevations, it might be a good idea to stay indoors if you're in the region.
