AGUANGA - Firefighters had a better handle on the Bonny Fire Tuesday, Aug. 1, with containment in and around the Cahuilla Indian Reservation southeast of Aguanga growing to 40% as of press time.

The fire was reported about 2:50 p.m. Thursday, July 27 in the area of Bonny and Barber lanes and has burned 2,305 acres, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.

Crews were continuing to contend with spot fires ahead of the blaze, but winds were calm Monday morning, enabling firefighters to expand tentative containment lines.

And Tuesday morning, Aug. 1, officials reported that the fire “stayed within the same perimeter, with no fire spread.”
