Eagle fire, east of Corona, is fully contained

The Eagle fire east of Corona that charred 1,710 acres reached 100% containment Tuesday afternoon, July 23, according to the Cal Fire/Riverside County Fire Department.

The brush fire began Sunday, July 21, at Cajalco and Eagle Canyon roads, the agency said.

The cause remained under investigation.

Containment is the percentage of the fire’s border that flames are not expected to break through, either due to firefighters’ efforts or natural barriers such as rocks and water.

The U.S. Forest Service is continuing to working on the Fork fire, which had burned more than 300 acres of the Angeles Forest above Glendora since starting on Fiday afternoon, July 19.

The blaze was 70% contained as of Wednesday morning, authorities said.
