California fire crews are working to contain the Springs Fire, which broke out in Riverside County on Friday and has burned over 4,100 acres. As of Saturday, the fire was 45% contained, with progress aided by weakened winds and the construction of containment lines. Approximately 260 personnel are battling the blaze, concentrated north and east of Lake Perris, and no structures have been damaged. Evacuation warnings for Moreno Valley have been reduced. A smaller fire, the Crown Fire in Los Angeles County, burned 345 acres but is now 74% contained, and evacuation warnings have been lifted. The cause of the Springs Fire is under investigation.
