The blaze started on Gilman Springs Road amid Friday's windy conditions, and triggered mandatory evacuation orders in several Riverside County neighborhoods.

When asked where they were going, Jeraz said, "We don't know. I guess where the wind takes us. We're gonna try to see if we can get like an Airbnb or something like that."
