Six-Alarm Blaze Destroys California Warehouse as Employee Faces Arrest
A massive six-alarm fire tore through a Kimberly-Clark warehouse in Ontario, California, in the early hours of Tuesday. Flames ripped through the 1.2 million-square-foot facility, forcing firefighters to switch to a defensive strategy by dawn. Over 140 responders battled the blaze, aided by drones and ladder trucks. The building’s internal sprinklers activated but could not contain the rapidly spreading fire fueled by paper products. Twenty employees escaped unharmed. Authorities are treating the incident as arson. One employee has been arrested and is awaiting questioning by local detectives. Residents nearby have been advised to stay indoors as smoke and ash continue to affect air quality.
