Riverside County health officials have announced the first case of West Nile virus, marking the third person infected in the state of California this year.
The ‘Nixon Fire‘ in Riverside County has burned about 5,222 acres and is 21% contained as of Friday morning, according to the county’s Fire Department.
Authorities say a burning car that was pushed into a Northern California gully less than a week ago sparked what's now one of the largest wildfires in the state's history.
