The largest of the blazes, called the Rabbit Fire, has scorched 7,600 acres and is 5% contained, Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department said Saturday night.
Other brush fires include the Highland Fire, which is 105 acres and 70% contained, the Reche Fire, which is 437 acres and 50% contained, and the Gavilan Fire, which is 250 acres and 25% contained.
