CA Crews Busy with Two Massive Fires

July 8, 2019
The unrelated five- and four-alarm blazes Sunday night in Modesto, one at a warehouse and another involving two homes, left nobody injured.

Two massive fires lit up the night sky in Modesto on Sunday night.

The unrelated five- and four-alarm blazes — one to an abandoned warehouse and another nearby involving two homes on Enslen Avenue — left nobody injured.

The first, to a commercial structure at the corner of Tully Road and Ninth Street, started at around 9 p.m. and quickly went to five alarms. Several agencies attended to that fire, including the Modesto and Ceres fire departments and crews from the Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District.

Later, at least two homes suffered damage in the 1100 block of Enslen just south of Roseburg Avenue after a fire broke out. It went to four alarms.

At least one truck from the Manteca Fire Department was called to the fire involving the two houses.
