The once rapidly expanding Nixon Fire continued to slowly grow on Tuesday, a full day after it started in a small town in southeastern Riverside County.
By Tuesday afternoon, the wildfire had burned 4,500 acres, most of which happened in the first 12 hours. It began near Tule Valley Road and Richard Nixon Boulevard in the small town of Aguanga. The wildfire destroyed one home and damaged four other buildings as it moved east toward the Beauty Mountain Wilderness area. Resident Matthew Hendricks said the Nixon Fire burned down his chicken coop and shed, which controlled the irrigation on his property.
