Current Situation
The City of Riverside Fire Department responded to a report of a vegetation fire in the Santa Ana River bottom nearest Jurupa and Tyler. Upon arrival the first arriving unit determined the fires’ location to be in Riverside County district, and a Cal Fire response was requested. The fire was described as a working vegetation fire one quarter acre in size with light and medium fuels moving at a slow rate of spread with a potential for 1/2 acre and no infrastructure threats. Fire Units made access to the fire area and initiated direct fire attack for perimeter control. Battalion 2 Richmond was in command of the River Bottom Incident. Once Cal Fire’s resources arrived, command was transferred for continued overhaul and investigation. City of Riverside units were released shortly thereafter and there were no reported civilian or firefighter injuries.
