At least 200 Sacramento-area firefighters responded to a massive multistructure fire in South Sacramento that has spread to several adjacent buildings, according to a report from CBS13. Two of the firefighters on scene have sustained non-life-threatening burns.
According to Sacramento Fire, the five-alarm incident at 3400 La Grande Boulevard has spread to multiple structures including a body shop, mattress factory, and pallet storage facility.
Several small explosions have been heard in the area, which firefighters said were caused by tires and aerosols. Firefighters are also monitoring propane tanks in the buildings.
Chief Gary Loesch said firefighters ran into a major issue with water pressure, making the firefight more difficult. He also said embers spread the fire, which created several spot fires. Other firefighters indicated that the area was safely evacuated.
The cause of the fire is still unknown.
