The Fairview fire has already scorched 5,000 acres of Riverside County, killed two people, injured a third and destroyed at least seven houses -- all in under two days.

The rapidly spreading fire has prompted the Riverside Fire Department and CAL Fire to issue evacuation orders for some nearby residents, and evacuation warnings for others.

Here's what to know if you're in the danger zone.

Residents in the following area are ordered to leave their homes for their own safety as firefighters fight the Fairview wildfire:

An evacuation shelter, run with the assistance of the Red Cross has been set up for those fleeing the area.

An evacuation center has been set up at Tahquitz High School in Hemet, located at 2245 Titan Trail.

Evacuees meeting at Tahquitz High School can bring their small animals with them. Animal services will assist them with their small animals.

An evacuation warning means those residents do not need to leave immediately, but fire officials asked those residents to be ready to go at a moment's notice, especially as the Fairview Fire moves quickly and has moved in unexpected ways since it began burning.
