The Tenaja fire, which assailed the southwestern portions of Riverside County, near the city of Murrieta and the unincorporated community of La Cresta, Calif. has now reached 100% containment after burning 1,926 acres.

The blaze destroyed hundreds of acres on the Santa Rosa Plateau Ecological Reserve, which has now been closed to all public access until further notice.
