ROCKFORD HILLS - This is an official statement issued by the Los Santos Fire Departments Public Relations Division in response to the PERSEUS structure fire on the 10th of July 2022.

Statement Begins On Sunday, the 10th of July, 2022, the Fire Department's Metropolitan Fire Communications otherwise known as Fire Metro collected two 911 calls at around 21:30 reporting a large structure fire located at Carcer Way in Rockford Hills. Units from Station Two (Rockford Hills) and Station Three (Davis) responded to the incident and arrived on the scene at around 21:39, roughly a nine-minute response time. Units from Station Two arrived at 21:40.

When units first arrived on the scene, it was confirmed to be a commercial structure fire and a second alarm was struck to Fire Metro to allocate more resources to the incident. Resources from Station Nine were assigned and arrived at 21:52. At this time, the units on the scene were Rescue Engine 3, Utility Tender 3B, Public Relations 1, Public Information Officer, Truck 9, Engine 96, and Rescue Ambulance 98.

Rescue Engine 3 began its preliminary search at 21:54 and Engine 9 was assigned RIT, otherwise known as Rapid Intervention Team, during the searches we can confirm no victims were located inside, the property was vacant during the fire. We can confirm PERSEUS did indeed have an interior pool, but we did not draw water from it, we utilized a local fire hydrant.

The blaze was brought under control by our firefighters at 22:01. Units were dismissed by the incident commander at 22:15 and the scene was handed over to the Office of the State Fire Marshals for investigation.

If members of the media or the general public wish to ask questions, contact our non-emergency line at 333 or our Public Relations Desk
