A brush fire broke out Thursday on the east end of Temecula, burning roughly five acres and threatening a ranch as crews converged on the location.
The blaze was reported about 3:30 p.m. in the 44700 block of Frogs Leap Street, near Butterfield Stage Road, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.
The agency said that multiple engine and hand crews were sent to the location and encountered flames moving at a moderate rate through high grass amid mild northwest winds.
A ranch property and vineyard were in the path of the brusher, according to reports from the scene.
Four Cal Fire air tankers were requested to make runs on the blaze.
There was no immediate word regarding how it started.
