AGUANGA, CA — A fire erupted this week in a doublewide mobile home in Aguanga, tearing through the residence before crews gained the upper hand. The non-injury blaze was reported at 12:40 p.m. Wednesday in the 46100 block of Palomino Road, near Buckhorn Road, just south of Highway 79, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.

Multiple engine crews were sent to the location and encountered flames raging inside the structure, from which the occupants escaped unharmed.

Air tankers and water-dropping helicopters from Hemet-Ryan Airport were also summoned over concerns that the fire might spread to surrounding vegetation. However, the blaze was confined to the mobile home, and the air resources returned to base, according to reports from the scene.
