Two Wildfires, Hawarden Fire and Eagle Fire, Ravage Riverside County in California: Three Homes Destroyed, Thousands Evacuated

Two large wildfires, Hawarden Fire and Eagle Fire, have broken out in Riverside County, California.

The Hawarden Fire began around 1 p.m. on Sunday south of downtown Riverside, west of the Moreno Valley Freeway, as a rapidly spreading vegetation blaze. Three homes were destroyed by the fire on Sunday afternoon and four others were damaged. About 1,500 homes are in the surrounding area.

    The article reports on wildfires in California and Utah without making any logical fallacies. However, there are a few instances of inflammatory rhetoric and appeals to authority. The author states that the fires are 'torching homes' which is an inflammatory way to describe the situation.

This is an appeal to authority as it presents Newsom's statement without questioning its validity.
