Fairview Fire
The big concern today on the Fairview Fire is the upcoming weather impact from hurricane remnants:

View to SE, over Hemet.
View to east, over Cactus Valley.
View north over Red Mountain Road and Minto Way.
There are concerns incoming east winds ahead of the arrival of Hurricane Kay off the San Diego coast will blast the Fairview Fire west toward Murrieta and Temecula, on the top of this west-looking view.
