Four adults have been displaced after a fire burned a home in the Windy Cove area just outside Palm Springs on Monday.
The blaze was first reported at around 1:10 p.m. at the 15-000 block of La Vida Drive, according to Cal Fire. The community is located north about 4 miles north of Desert Highland Gateway Estates.
Heavy smoke and fire was said to be coming from the home, although no injuries have been reported, a Cal Fire spokesperson told The Desert Sun.
As of around 2:10 p.m., firefighters had completed the primary search of the residence, but flames still appeared to be burning.
The Red Cross had been requested to assist those who have been displaced.
At least two wildfires were burning Monday afternoon in Riverside County:
The Nichols Fire scorched roughly 30 acres Monday near Interstate 15 in Lake Elsinore by midday.
The Bluff Fire near Banning had burned about 3 to 4 acres, spreading at a moderate rate.

Intense downpours like those in Texas are more frequent, but there's no telling where they'll happen

It's not just Texas and North Carolina. Intense rain is falling more frequently in many areas of the U.S. — though where it occurs and whether it causes catastrophic flooding is largely a matter of chance, according to experts. More than 100 people died in Texas Hill Country over the weekend after 12 inches (30 centimeters) of rain fell in just hours. The deluge was driven by warm, moist air left over from Tropical Storm Barry and Hurricane Flossie that created conditions for repeated thunderstorms in the same location, said Texas Climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon.
