Area motorists traveling the Interstate 15 in Murrieta during the evenings last week were disrupted by major Caltrans work replacing a number of damaged concrete slabs, with more still possible on the freeways in the coming weeks. One lane access may slow traffic in the evening but will not close the entire freeway.

Firefighters have had to battle four different fires over the last week, including the largest of the four, the Rabbit Fire in Lakeview. The Rabbit Fire burned almost 8,300 acres and was still a threat as of Tuesday with 45% contain- ment and evacuation orders and warnings still in effect.

Riverside County Fire Officials were reporting extreme heat and low humidity were creating chal- lenging conditions for firefighters battling the fire which had one civilian injury with no details. see FIRES, page A-5
