    Current Situation


    (Recent updates are posted at the top of the Current Situation)

    On July 19th, 2021, the City of Riverside Fire Department responded to a structure fire in the 9200 block of Cypress Ave.  The first due engine arrived on scene and reported a working residential structure fire with heavy smoke and fire inside a residence.  The crew initiated an attack on the fire while an AMR ambulance crew provided care for one patient outside the residence.  The patient was transported to a local hospital with moderate injuries.

    As additional crews arrived, we were able to complete a search of the residence and confirm there not any additional people inside the house.  The fire was placed under control at 10:10 A.M.  The fire was contained to the house of origin.  The cause of the fire is under investigation.

    The American Red Cross is providing assistance for two residents.  Additionally, a SAVE card has been issued from the fire department.  There were not any firefighter injuries reported.
