Highland Fire is at 25% containment after burning 2,500 acres in Southern California

The wildfire in Southern California that led to evacuations for about 4,000 residents is at least 25% contained, fire officials said on Thursday.

The Highland Fire has burned over 2,500 acres, including at least 15 structures and at three homes in Riverside County, according to Cal Fire.

The department said the blaze ignited around 12:37 p.m. Monday in Aguanga, California and went uncontained through the evening. No fatalities have been reported and at least one person has been injured as of Thursday.

Officials are still investigating the cause of the fire, which over 1,100 firefighters responded to.

A smoke advisory placed on Tuesday remains in effect for parts of Riverside and Orange counties as of Thursday afternoon.

Cal Fire Day Operations Section Chief Justin McGough said on X (formerly twitter) crews are facing battling winds Thursday. Coastal winds have increased the humidity on the fire which will help control it.

"We want to get those that are evacuated back into your homes as soon as possible that have been displaced. But again, we got to make sure that it's safe to do so that you have power," Chief McGough said.
