Florin IC 5/21/2021
At 0223 on Friday, May 21, 2021, the Sacramento Regional Fire & EMS Communications Center (SRFECC) dispatched Sacramento Metropolitan and City Fire units to a reported commercial structure fire at 6530 Florin Road, Skip’s Fish & Chicken, in Fire Station 53’s response area. Engine 53 arrived on scene first and reported smoke showing from the “D” side (right-hand side of facing the front door) of the structure. They initiated an aggressive interior fire attack and located fire in the attic space of the structure. Due to difficulty accessing the crawlspace in the attic, firefighters were unable to immediately put water on the seat of the fire, and eventually interior conditions deteriorated to the point that it was unsafe to continue in an offensive strategy. Crews were removed from the building and a defensive operation was declared. A second alarm was called to the scene, bringing additional engines, ladder trucks, command and support units to the scene. Crews cut holes in the siding of the attic, and were eventually able to apply water to the seat of the fire using hand lines. The fire was brought under control and crews are currently in overhaul mode. One lane of Westbound Florin Road is closed between Stockton Boulevard and Lindale Drive. There is no estimated time of reopening. Crews limited fire damage to the original building, preserving another commercial occupancy directly adjacent. No injuries have been reported as a result of the incident.
