The first arriving Company Officer reported a stack of pallets burning on the exterior of the structure with fire extension into the interior of the structure. Firefighters quickly extinguished the burning pallets and transitioned to an interior fire attack. The interior attack was able to rapidly confine the fire and minimize interior extension and damage to the structure. Primary and secondary searches of the building revealed no occupants. The property was turned over to the building owner. 23CARRU004744 On , CAL FIRE / Riverside County Fire Department responded to a report of a fire in the area of 20th Avenue and Beacon Way in the city of Desert Hot Springs. The first arriving fire resource reported two fires. The first fire included a well involved abandoned mobile home, discarded debris and tamarisk trees; the second fire involved discarded debris approximately 100' X 50' in size. Due to the size of the fire and lack of water in the area, additional resources were ordered to assist with extinguishment. Fire crews will remain on scene for the next 2 hours mopping up and checking for hot spots. There were no civilian or firefighter injuries on this incident. 23CARRU005900 On , CAL FIRE / Riverside County firefighters responded to multiple reports of a residential structure fire at the 66600 block of Cahuilla Avenue in the City of Desert Hot Springs.
