(Two different fires)…Caused by the same reason.

One of the fires, near Highway 111 and Beech Road, near Niland, turned into a two alarm fire. The other fire was a haystack fire near Holtville. Both fires started as controlled burns, that jumped the containment lines. No injuries were reported in either fire. Structures were threatened in the Niland fire, but none damaged. The cause of last weekend’s river-bottom fire near Brawley is still under investigation.
