Five-Alarm Fire Sweeps Through California Businesses

A mattress factory is among the structures damaged when a 5-alarm fire swept through multiple businesses in Sacramento, California, Monday night.

Also damaged was an auto body shop and a pallet storage facility, press reports state.

The fire required a mutual aid response from surrounding departments, drawing nearly 200 firefighters to the scene, the Sacramento Fire Department Twitter site reports.

“Challenges with water pressure in the area made the firefight extremely difficult,” the Twitter post states. “Firefighters had to accomplish laying supply line extended distances north of 47^th Ave to ensure water pressure.”

No civilians were injured, but one firefighter was transported to the hospital for further care.

Although the city was under a citywide curfew from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., the fire was unrelated to any violence linked to protests.
