The Jack Fire was first reported at around 4:30 p.m. near the intersection Jack Rabbit Trail and Highway 60, according to a post to X, formerly Twitter, by the Riverside County Fire Department.
Officials said at that time the multiple air and ground resources had been assigned to the rapidly moving vegetation fire, which was burning in the hills.
In an update just before 8 p.m., officials said that wildfire had spread to another 50 acres and was 0% contained.

Some 200 personnel have been assigned to fight the fire, along with one helicopter, 26 engines, four bulldozers and seven hand crews, according to Cal Fire.
