Perris Fire
PERRIS (CNS) – A fire that erupted Monday in a house on the north end of Perris caused significant damage and extended into grass beyond the structure but was quickly contained.
The non-injury blaze was reported at 12:55 p.m. at 922 Seymour Way, across from Sinclair Street, less than a mile west of the Lake Perris State Recreation Area, according to the Riverside County Fire Department.
The agency said that multiple engine and truck crews were sent to the location and encountered flames toward the rear of the single-story residence, extending into grass and other vegetation.
Firefighters quickly formed a perimeter around the property, preventing the flames from spreading, according to reports from the scene.
The blaze was completely contained in and out of the house at 1:25 p.m.
Red Cross personnel were requested to assist occupants of the home with finding temporary alternate lodgings, but it was unclear how many were living there.
The cause of the fire was under investigation.
