A fire in a Riverside mobile home park Thursday caused major damage to one of the units, from which the resident was rescued by firefighters.
The blaze was reported at 10:15 a.m. in the 4000 block of Pierce Street, just north of the Riverside (91) Freeway, in the Meadows Mobile Park, according to the Riverside Fire Department.
Battalion Chief Michael Allen said three engine crews and a truck company, numbering 17 personnel, were sent to the location and encountered flames raging in a residence.
Allen said there was “one occupant … rescued by firefighters.”
It was not immediately clear whether the victim required hospitalization for smoke exposure or other injuries.
Crews contained the blaze before 11 a.m.
No other structures were damaged.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
