FIRE RAGING IN CORONA MAY BRING SMOKE INTO MORONGO BASIN

Depending on winds, our Morongo Basin may get some residual smoke today. A dangerous fire that has claimed at least one structure in Corona was raging late into the night Monday as firefighters continued trying to save hundreds of threatened homes in an evacuated neighborhood. The Canyon fire, which started Monday afternoon along the 91 Freeway near the Orange-Riverside county line, had grown to 2,000 acres by 10 p.m. last night and was only five percent contained.
