A fast-moving fire emerged from hillside terrain near the southern California town of Murrieta on Wednesday afternoon, charring 2,000 acres in less than a day.
"Ash and smoke can be hard on anyone to breathe, but especially those with lung disease," Dr. Cameron Kaiser, a Riverside County public health official said in a statement."Everyone worries about the flames, but smoke can impact you even if you're miles away from the fire."
The smoke and ash advisory was issued by Kaiser for portions of Southwest Riverside County, including the Murrieta, Temecula and Lake Elsinore areas. It said that those with respiratory or heart disease, older adults and children should remain indoors with the windows and doors closed.Spot fires burn on the hills above Pepperdine University during the Woolsey fire, November 12, 2018 in Malibu, California. The Woolsey fire was one of the worst wildfires in Los Angeles County's modern history and was much bigger than the Tenaja fire to date. However, like the Woolsey fire of last fall, the Tenaja is spreading rapidly.
