Fairview Fire kills 2 near Hemet in Southern California
The Fairview Fire in Southern California grew to almost 4 square miles Tuesday morning, with just 5% containment.

The fire broke out Monday in an unincorporated area near Hemet, about 80 miles southeast of Los Angeles. In less than an hour, it had exploded to 500 acres, according to Cal Fire.

Two people were killed and another injured when winds pushed the fire into a canyon, according to Josh Janssen, the incident commander.
Those individuals were attempting to flee the area and were overcome by the fire," he said Tuesday morning. It's unknown whether the victims are related or from the same household.

The fire has been moving in an "atypical wind direction," Janssen said.

"This fire burned differently than it normally would on a given day," he said. "It burned the complete opposite direction of what it should do."
