They cited concerns over property owners on three acres or less mowing rights of way and potential land access without permission or a warrant.

Temperatures spark start of California fire season at Temecula
The 2004 fire season opened with more than 8,000 acres scorched across Southern California, triggering mandatory evacuations in Riverside County south of Temecula. A 3,000 acre blaze led the damage while four other fires burned in the region as temperatures topped 100 degrees. Injuries to nearly a dozen firefighters were reported, and a house and university workshop were destroyed. Red Cross shelters opened for evacuees as containment reached 30 percent.
