INCIDENT UPDATE - 10/31/2019 1100 hours
The City of Riverside Fire Department is currently working two separate commercial fires that are associated with a large river bottom fire Riverside County is working named the 46 Fire.
5947 Jasmine – Large commercial business storing wooden pallets sustained significant damage – Fire is under control. Mop-up and overhaul is in progress. Cause is under investigation.
6300-6400 block of Industrial – Several commercial buildings sustained significant damage. Fire is under control. Mop-up and overhaul is in progress. Cause is under investigation
