This is a pretty blighty area of Riverside. Not a whole lot around it but long ago vacant lots. The place looked like a mess before this fire started. It was an old clapboard building built long ago.
Whoever edited this obviously thought that presenting events in a chronological order was a bad idea, but that repeating a few snippets was a good one. Baffling.
What a raging fire! As we can see from what seems to be the Alpha side of the fire building, it's also fuelled by tons of debris piled up in front of it. I guess the radiant heat must have been felt some 300 ft away! 9:30: The "Arson Unit" is there for a reason!
This building was one of the properties that was scheduled to be taken by the City of Riverside for a grade separation (underpass under the adjacent railroad line) at nearby 3rd Street. The owner most likely already had a purchase offer from the city for the property. This fact alone will have the Fire Department and any insurance carrier give this a closer look to make sure there wasn't any funny business. On the flip side, there have been a number of homeless related fires nearby, so anything is possible.
I would like to know why you think this was scheduled to be taken by the city. I did not hear this, only the end building on 3rd is being taken. this building could not be taken down because it is historical 1897.
Ya know, somebody out to invent a high-volume nozzle that could be permanently installed on top of an engine that could knock down a fire like this using water carried on the pumper while hoses were being attached to a hydrant. I'm not a firefighter but it is just a thought.
Fire union loves to send people instead of the right equipment even an old airport fire Oshkosh rig would work but it's all about unions and money and I was a volunteer fire for 15 years
@@lutomson3496 I agree. The answer to the OP is old Airport Fire Tenders (carrying water and foam). Whether it be Oshkosh or Chubb Pathfinders, or any newer retired versions. (Maybe I'm giving my age away, with the Oshkosh and Pathfinder models)
You are not serious I hope??? If you are I think I would consider not posting about firefighting strategies until attending (successfully) a fire academy and after no less than 1 year of real actual firefighting experience 😡
Southern California, people cooking over fires, inside homeless encampments. Easily spreading to vehicles in the street or buildings close to the sidewalk.

I’m pretty sure the op is being sarcastic and talking about a deck gun….
Stop overthinking things people.
Laugh once in a while.
