URGENT UPDATE: A rapidly spreading vegetation fire, known as the Rosa Fire, has engulfed 1,200 acres in Riverside County as of Monday night, prompting immediate evacuation orders for several nearby communities. The fire ignited around 12:30 p.m. on Highway 74, east of the Santa Rosa Truck Trail, situated between Palm Desert and Anza.

As of late Monday, the fire is burning at a moderate rate and remains 0% contained. Authorities report that 300 firefighting personnel have been deployed to the scene, utilizing 49 engines, five dozers, four water tenders, and two helicopters to combat the flames.

Evacuation orders have been officially issued for households in the communities of Ribbonwood, Pinyon Pines, and Alpine Village. Residents in Pinyon Crest are under evacuation warnings.
