Current Situation
The City of Riverside Fire Department responded to a report of structure fire in the 2000 block of Marlborough. Upon arrival the first-in fire unit found a small single story duplex with smoke showing from the rear unit. Crews made an interior fire attack and found a victim at the back door trying to get out. They rescued the victim from harm and extinguished the fire in the main bedroom. The victim was treated and transported to a local hospital for further treatment. The fire was found in the mattress and surrounding clothes most likely caused by a cigarette. The victim advised she fell asleep while smoking in bed.
A second victim was treated at the scene and released with signing an AMA (Against Medical Advice). This patient tried to rescue the victim in the fire room.
