Separate fires that erupted Monday in a travel trailer and storage yard at a mobile home resort and campground in Aguanga destroyed a travel trailer and consumed nearly three acres before being contained.

The non-injury blazes were reported at 4:42 p.m. in the Jojoba Hills RV Resort in the 45100 block of Highway 79, near Rainbow Road, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.

The agency said multiple engine crews were sent to the location and encountered flames raging in a travel trailer, as well as a storage yard on the west end of the facility, extending into vegetation on a hillside.

The flames were moving at a very slow rate for lack of wind, enabling crews to quickly encircle the fires with the aid of a Cal Fire water-dropping helicopter, which made a series of drops that proved effective, according to officials at the scene.

The two blazes were completely contained shortly before 6 p.m.

No evacuations were required.

The origins of the fires were under investigation.
