RIVERSIDE (CNS) - Riverside firefighters extinguished a pair of
business fires overnight apparently related to a number of vandalism incidents, authorities said today.
Firefighters were sent to the 5800 block of Jasmine Street about 11:45
p.m. Wednesday, the City of Riverside Fire Department reported.
``Fire department resources arrived on scene and found two separate
fires burning at two business locations, (and) a second alarm responded to the incident,'' the fire department said in a statement.
``The first fire involved shipping materials stored outside against
the building that activated the fire sprinkler system,'' the fire department
said. ``The second fire involved a large stack of wood pallets burning at an
outside storage area.''
Fire crews contained both fires to their areas of origin, and the
flames were controlled by 12:45 a.m., the fire department reported.
``Both fires are under investigation and likely related to multiple
occurrences of vandalism that took place at the same time,'' the fire
department reported.
