Current Situation
The City of Riverside Fire Department is currently on scene of a residential structure fire in the 3600 Block of Gay Way. The initial report from the first arriving engine company was a working attic fire that was wind driven. As the incident progresses the roof started to sag and become weakened. The Incident Commander relocated all personnel out of the structure into a defensive operation. The roof has collapsed on a corner of the structure. All personnel are safe and accounted for. The commitment time is estimated to be 3 hours with the first alarm assignment plus an additional engine company along with the Breathing Support.
