Riverside County Fire Department crews were engaged with a greater alarm fire at a pallet yard in Rubidoux on Sunday.
Riverside County Fire Department crews were on the scene of a pallet yard fire in Riverside Sunday evening.
Huge plumes of smoke could be seen from the distance, as dumpsters, vehicles and hundreds of pallets caught fire at MTZ Pallet Solutions on Rubidoux Boulevard. Telephone poles also caught fire, burning through the electrical lines. The windy conditions quickly pushed the fire throughout the yard, prompting fire officials to label the blaze as a 4 Alarm or Greater Alarm Fire.
Firefighters on hand were required to utilize a large amount of resources as they continued their fight. Crews with Orange County Fire Authority, Murrieta Fire Department and Hemet Fire Department were also on the scene lending crews and additional resources.
