Fire containment

Understanding what 25% containment means

Containment indicates what percentage of the fire perimeter has been surrounded by a control line. In this case, it means that 25% of the wildfire is contained from spreading, while 75% is still uncontrolled.

Containment is part of a larger plan for managing a wildfire. It is normally expressed as a percentage and it refers to how much of the fire perimeter has been surrounded/enclosed by a control line that firefighters create. The containment percentage indicates a certain level of control, but it doesn't always correlate to safety level. Also, it's important to note that containment doesn't mean a fire is out.

How is containment measured?

The incident's central command constantly receives progress reports from firefighters on the ground. As the fireline is constructed, inspected or reinforced, mappers record those details to adjust the containment percentage. The percentage tells the public how much of the fire perimeter is believed to not go beyond the control lines.

Who really wants to live next short-term rentals?

RIVERSIDE COUNTY, CA — The Board of Supervisors Tuesday formally adopted a series of adjustments to the Riverside County ordinance regulating short-term rentals in unincorporated communities, though before voting, the board heard appeals from speakers seeking an outright ban on rentals in residential areas.

In July, the board tentatively signed off on amendments sought by the Transportation & Land Management Agency to Ordinance No. 927. However, the matter came back for a second reading and adoption Tuesday, following the board's summer recess.

None of the supervisors chose to address the ordinance again, but a few county residents did.

"I'm definitely opposed to non-owner-occupied properties," Ramona Bautista said ahead of the 5-0 vote. "Hotels and campsites have check-in clerks, but not STRs. They have disrupted the lives of so many families."

She described how her neighborhood had been plagued by a vacation rental where a gun assault recently occurred, culminating in a bullet going through the window and narrowly missing the head of a sleeping child in a nearby residence.

Temecula-area resident Dave Petrella told the board the only real way to eliminate problem-oriented STRs is to place a blanket prohibition on all STRs in neighborhoods.

"We don't want them in residential districts," he said. "There are plenty of cities and other jurisdictions that ban them outright. This problem (in unincorporated areas) is not fixed."

Short-term rentals are defined as dwellings leased for a maximum of 30 days and a minimum of two days and one night. Prior to ratification of Ordinance No. 927 in 2022, the county had a somewhat informal process for permitting short-term rentals, which number about 1,100 in unincorporated communities countywide.

During the board's previous hearings, numerous people complained that the Department of Code Enforcement had not taken a proactive approach to stopping problem STRs, where all-night parties, blight from mounds of trash and extensive parking violations had occurred.

The TLMA initially proposed a stipulation that if an STR owner receives five notices, or citations, in a 12-month period, the STR certificate could be subject to suspension. Seven notices would trigger a revocation. In July, Supervisors Chuck Washington and Manuel Perez agreed with speakers that those numbers were too lenient.

"Enforcement, accountability and stop the nuisance," Washington said, describing the real teeth in any law. "If we can't achieve those, then this ordinance will be worthless."

The board revised the numbers to three citations leading to suspension, and five citations triggering revocation proceedings. The supervisors also directed the TLMA to model the publicly accessible electronic complaint platform to match what San Bernardino County has, enabling people to view locations of STR complaints and read what, if any, actions have been taken by officers.

At the board's direction, two Department of Code Enforcement representatives will be on duty at the agency's Palm Desert and San Jacinto offices from 7 a.m. to midnight Thursday to Sunday, when complaint volume is highest. Previously, officers were off the clock by 10 p.m.

Another change eliminated the current "60-minute self-correction window" that previously permitted STR owners to address complaints themselves within an hour. Instead, the TLMA now will have enforcement officers go directly to locations where complaints have been lodged and attempt "knock and talk" tactics that immediately make parties aware of noise, obstruction and related problems.

Notices, or administrative citations, will be issued where complaints are documented. This will establish a gradual process for ticketing violators. However, under an "urgent circumstance," where there's a public health or similar issue, the noticing will be dispensed with, in preference to immediate suspension of an STR certificate and a cease-and-desist order mandating that actions be taken to correct the offense forthwith.

Flabob Cars and Planes Car Show is landing in Riverside for 2026 with modified builds, aircraft backdrop appeal, and a setting that already feels different from the average weekend meet.

This one has a more festival-style edge than a simple parked-up car show. The airstrip setting changes the whole mood, and once the cars are lined up next to planes and hangars, the event starts to feel more like a full scene than a basic lot gathering. Expect a mix of JDM builds, Euro cars, domestic projects, VIP vehicles, bagged setups, stance cars, and other custom rides, with live DJ sets, vendor alley, games, music, and crowd activity helping keep the day moving.

Organized by Seven Suns Collective, the event looks built around both show-quality presentation and spectator energy. Awards stretch across multiple styles and categories, which gives the lineup a broader identity than a one-lane specialty meet. There is also a competitive side with the Showcase Showdown live build battle, plus a two-step competition, tug-of-war, raffle prizes, and other attractions that make this feel bigger than a standard cars and coffee. With more space this time around and airstrip and hangar parking in the mix, the whole format sounds like it is aiming for a stronger second round.

Set at Flabob Airport in Riverside County, the location is doing a lot of the heavy lifting here in the best way. An airport show naturally gives the cars more visual payoff, especially when the builds are displayed next to aircraft instead of against the usual rows of storefronts or parking curbs. For Inland Empire car enthusiasts, that makes this one stand out right away. It also gives the event room to lean into modified-car culture in a way that feels open, a little louder, and more visually memorable.

Flabob Cars and Planes feels like the kind of event where the setting is not just a backdrop but part of the whole draw. The builds bring the detail, the planes bring the atmosphere, and the rest of the day fills in around that. If you like your car shows with more motion, more variety, and a little aviation flavor around the edges, this Riverside stop has its own identity.
