The Dale Fire is 55% contained after burning close to 1,100 acres in Riverside County
The fire broke out Wednesday afternoon near Riverdale Drive and Highway 371 in Aguanga. The Dale Fire was one of two brush fires that started at about the same time. Firefighters were able to contain the second fire within two hours, but the Dale Fire quickly grew. Multiple unoccupied buildings were damaged or destroyed by the fire. No injuries were reported.
A segment of the Cahuilla Indian Reservation was placed under an evacuation order, while surrounding locations were under evacuation warnings as a precaution. Most orders were lifted by midnight.
The Cahuilla Creek Motorcross and the Cahuilla Casino Hotel, both south of the 371, were briefly evacuated. Neither location was not damaged by the fire.
Both sides of the 371 were shut down Wednesday at the Lake Riverside area, but all lane closures were lifted by Thursday.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Grok AI is now part of new Tesla vehicles
Chatting with Grok while cruising in your Tesla is now a reality. The conversational artificial intelligence is being included in newer models, according to Elon Musk. Having Grok around will hopefully make your drive more engaging. It will be like having a buddy with you along for the ride. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, you'll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide — free when you join my Grok is a smart AI chatbot built by Elon Musk's company, xAI. It's designed to be witty, helpful and more conversational than most assistants. What makes Grok stand out is its personality. It's not just informative, it's entertaining. Grok 4 is the latest version of the chatbot. This upgraded model delivers faster answers, sharper humor and a deeper understanding of context. It's the version currently rolling out in Teslas, and it's designed to feel more human than ever. If your Tesla meets the requirements, you're already getting Grok 4. Just tap your screen, start chatting and enjoy the ride. However, your Tesla must have an AMD Ryzen processor, which is included in models built from mid-2021, to get Grok. Older cars with Intel Atom processors are not able to run Grok yet. You'll also need software version 2025.26 (available from July 2025) or higher. Another thing you need is a good Wi-Fi connection or Tesla's $9.99/month Premium Connectivity plan. Grok needs it to process its responses using cloud technology, and that requires the internet. Anyone in the U.S. with a Tesla delivered since July 12, 2025, will have Grok good to go. It's only available in the U.S. because Tesla is gathering feedback. Older models like the Model S, Model 3, Model X, Model Y or Cybertruck will need a software update to get Grok. Not sure if your Tesla meets Grok's requirements? You can easily check by tapping Control and then Software on your vehicle's touch screen. You'll be able to see the software and processor information here. You can also check in the Tesla app by tapping the menu icon in the top right corner and asking what the specifications of your vehicle are. This rollout comes hot on the heels of Grok 4's debut, which is xAI's latest AI model. This particular version of Grok has stirred some buzz (and a few raised eyebrows) for its bold responses. You can start chatting with Grok today if your Tesla meets the requirements. Just don't expect it to be able to help you with navigation, playing music or adjusting the AC just yet. Grok's arrival in Tesla vehicles could make for more entertaining drives with the chatty AI on board. Talking to your car on those long solo drives can potentially make the ride feel shorter. It's just the start, though, since it can't do anything useful yet. But there is room to grow beyond answering questions. Once it's able to access your car controls, your car will really feel like K.I.T.T., the famous, artificially intelligent car from the 1980s TV series Knight Rider. Are you ready to go on a ride along with Grok? Why or why not?

California State Fair's unseasonably mild weather a stark contrast to recent years
On the final Friday night at the California State Fair, some people are worried it might actually be a little too chilly. It's a stark contrast to the past two years, when more than half the days reached triple digits. Carnival flags were blowing in a cool afternoon breeze. The food court fans and misters were turned off. Could this really be the California State Fair? State fair temperatures are typically scorching, with average highs in the mid-90s, but not this year. So just how different is the state fair weather this year? Last year, there were 11 triple-digit days during the fair's 16-day run, including 111 degrees on opening day. In 2023, there were 10 triple-digit days. But this year, there's been only one — the very first day when it reached 102 degrees. Friday afternoon, we found fairgoer Sean Guerra wearing a long-sleeved flannel shirt during what's supposed to be the hottest time of day. "The reason why I have a flannel on right now is because later on tonight, the degrees are going to drop," he said. Even more impressive is that this year, 11 of the fair's days won't even reach 90 degrees. "It makes a big difference," Guerra said. "You don't have to come as early. You can come in the afternoon." There has been no word yet on how the mild temperatures are impacting attendance, but many fairgoers say it's why they came to Cal Expo this year. There are just two more days of the state fair left, with gates opening Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m.
