A massive warehouse fire broke out in Ontario, California, prompting a huge response from firefighters. The 1 million square foot facility, managed by Kimberly-Clark, was consumed by the blaze, releasing a plume of smoke into the atmosphere.
Over 100 firefighters, including units from neighboring departments, engaged in combating the six-alarm fire, which was still active as of 5 a.m. The Ontario Fire Department had to withdraw due to hazardous conditions, citing an 'operational retreat.'
The fire was one of several incidents in southern California, following a smoky wildfire that prompted evacuation orders. The Springs Fire, which covered 6.3 square miles, was contained by Saturday afternoon, with evacuation orders lifted for many neighborhoods.
