Riverside County Wolf Fire evacuations still in place; Lake and Juniper fire orders lifted
The fires were mostly split between Riverside and San Bernardino counties, burning thousands of acres and forcing evacuations.
As of Tuesday afternoon, just the Wolf Fire in Riverside County still had mandatory evacuations in place. Three of the seven were still at 50% or less containment and burned more than 20 acres as of Tuesday.
Wolf Fire
Located near Banning, the Wolf Fire has burned about 2,414 acres since it started on Sunday afternoon. As of Tuesday, containment was at 30%.
Cal Fire said crews were attacking the blaze aggressively from the air and ground.
"Steep, rugged terrain, high temperatures and wind remain challenging factors for firefighters," Cal Fire said in a post to X. "Cooler temperatures [Tuesday night], with higher humidity will assist firefighters in constructing and strengthening containment lines."
Evacuation orders remained in place in the immediate area. An evacuation map can be found here.
According to Cal Fire, three firefighters have been injured while battling the blaze.
Juniper Fire
The Juniper Fire in Riverside Fire quickly ignited and ballooned up to nearly 700 acres on Monday afternoon.
A rapid response by crews to the blaze, which was located in unincorporated Perris, managed to slow the spread. Evacuation orders were issued by 3 p.m. but were rescinded by 9 p.m., Cal Fire said.
Containment was at 30% as of Tuesday, as crews continue to strengthen containment lines.
Lake Fire
San Bernardino County's Lake Fire burned just south of Hesperia in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains starting Saturday afternoon.
Evacuation orders were issued quickly and were retracted by Sunday afternoon.
As of Tuesday, the blaze covers 483 acres according to Cal Fire, although forward progress has been stopped. It's currently at 50% containment.

Juventus coach Igor Tudor complains of tough Florida weather conditions during loss to Real Madrid
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — Juventus coach Igor Tudor complained about the tough weather conditions in South Florida following the team's elimination from the Club World Cup with a 1-0 loss Tuesday to Real Madrid in the round of 16. The gametime temperature for the 3 p.m. start was 86 degrees (30 Celsius) with 70% humidity at Hard Rock Stadium, site of seven World Cup matches next year. The humidity made it feel like 90 degrees (32 Celsius). 'We played under really difficult conditions. The players were really fatigued,' Tudor said. Tudor said 10 players asked during the game to be replaced, but he did not identify them by name. After a 1-hour, 53-minute delay during a round of 16 win over Benfica on Saturday at Charlotte, North Carolina, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca had said the U.S. is not the right host country for the Club World Cup. Juventus and Inter Milan both were eliminated in the round of 16, leaving no Italian clubs in the quarterfinals. 'It's a lot of factors that weighed in,' Tudor said. 'It's the end of the season. They had a lot of stress on them, that takes away energy as well and then the heat is another thing that makes things more difficult.' Juve's loss to Real is one of the least surprising results of the round of 16, but the heat wave in the United States during this past month has been of concern to players and their unions . Juventus is off until an Aug. 10 friendly at Borussia Dortmund on Aug 10, then opens the Serie A season against Parma at home on the weekend of Aug. 24-25. ___ AP soccer:

Many across Minnesota experiencing more damage to roofs due to high winds
Aside from Minnesota nice, the other local constant is wind. Sean Lutgen, CEO of roofing company Lutgen Companies, says hail can weaken shingles which can cause leaks. He says the damage could be tricky to spot. "Without getting up on the roof, it's hard to see on the actual shingle," said Lutgen. "If they are seeing damage to their vehicles, probably have damage to their roof." While you pretty much have to spot hail damage from above, there are some ways to spot wind damage, from the ground. "Where the two ridges meet, there's a ridge cap that goes there. A lot of times we will see that as one of the first shingles that comes loose," said Lutgen. If a shingle comes loose, that also can lead to leaking. However, Lutgen says if hat happens, you don't always have to replace the roof. "You can just patch it in certain areas of the roof," said Lutgen. The key is catching the damage early. Lutgen said it's important to pay attention to what your roof looks like before there's any damage, getting a baseline and snapping some photos. "Wind damage has been more prevalent the last 8-9 months, than in the last decade or so," said Lutgen. Lutgen says catching damage early may also help decrease the amount you'll have to pay to get it fixed.
