2nd Freeway Fire In 12 Hours Threatens Homes - Riverside, California 08.31.23

RIVERSIDE (LLN) - On Thursday morning, August 31, 2023, the City of Riverside Fire Department, along with the California Highway Patrol, responded to reports of a fire along the 91 Freeway. The fire was reported around 2:12am on the westbound 91 Freeway between Madison and Adams streets. Officers with the California Highway Patrol were the first to arrive and reported ivy on a sound wall well engulfed by fire. Firefighters arrived moments later and made a quick and aggressive fire attack from both sides of the sound wall, preventing the fire from spreading to homes on Diana Avenue at Gay Way. This fire broke out twelve hours after a similar fire on the 60 Freeway at Main Street, which damaged several homes and forced evacuations on Stoddard Avenue around 2:02pm, Wednesday. This fire was quickly extinguished and did not spread to the nearby homes. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
