    Current Situation


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

    On February 7, 2025, The City of Riverside Fire Department responded to a structure fire reported at the 4400 block of Douglas Avenue.  The first unit arrived on scene and reported light smoke coming from the attic vents, a possible attic fire, at a small, one-story house.  Douglas command was established and crews investigated to identify the source of the smoke.  Overheated household wiring was found in the attic space over a bathroom and was the source of the fire.  The fire was quickly extinguished.  Fire department crews remained on scene to ensure any remaining hazards were mitigated.  One resident was displaced.  There were not any civilian or firefighter injuries reported.
