Current Situation
The City of Riverside Fire Department responded to a report of a structure fire at an apartment complex in the 3600 block of Banbury Drive. The first arriving units found a fire burning in the attic above a laundry room that had extended within a common wall and into the second story attic. An aggressive fire attack was initiated and the occupants from 16 apartments were evacuated. Several apartments sustained smoke and water damage. The likely cause of the fire is electrical in nature. The occupants of the 16 apartments were able to work with the apartment managers to make temporary housing arrangements as the utilities have been shut off. There were no civilian or firefighter injuries.
