Riverside
firefighters knocked-down a fire after some difficulty reaching it. The fire majorly
destroyed the interior of a single-family home and left an adult resident and a
dog dislodged, the Fire Department said Wednesday, March 28.
The fire was
reported in the area of Jones and Arlington avenues just before 12:15 p.m.
Tuesday. But while firefighters saw smoke, they had trouble reaching the
source. It was really difficult figuring out the fire source. Fire crews
discovered the blaze was actually on in the 6800 block of nearby Gaylord
Street.
There were
still problems getting to the fire, though, since the structure was set
back off the street about 300 feet. That meant crews had to use ladders to
scale a fence to get to the burning structure while a gate was forced open.
Firefighters
attacked the blaze in the single-story home while searching for any trapped
victims. There were no civilian injuries; one firefighter had a minor eye
injury. The fire was knocked down in about 15 minutes with the assistance of Fire Fighting Equipment.
The adult, who
lost his shelter, was referred to the Red Cross for housing. He was
additionally issued with a cash card. Despite, the man was provided with the
necessary aid, it still would be a tough phase to bear, as the fire brutally
destructed the entire assets of the house.
