The State - News from July 3, 1989

A 203-acre blaze on the edge of Sequoia National Park has been controlled, and California firefighters neared full control of a 7,840-acre fire in Riverside County that cost nearly $2 million to fight, authorities said. The fire that burned three acres in the national park and 200 adjacent acres of federal lands in the Three Rivers area of Tulare County was started by a campfire, said Capt. Mike Green of the state Department of Forestry. A man-caused fire that burned a wide area of Riverside County near Lake Elsinore, including 1,000 acres in Cleveland National Forest, was fully contained, officials said.
