The City of Riverside Fire Department responded to a report of a vegetation fire in the area of Tyler and Mandalay. The first arriving unit found a working fire approximately 50’ X100 in deep seated wood chips. There were no threats to infrastructure. A second alarm was requested in addition to a Water Tender to address extensive overhaul conditions. Battalion 2, Richmond is in command of the Tyler incident which was controlled at approximately 1500 hours with 2-3 additional hours of overhaul.
