Brush fireplace in Moreno Valley prompts freeway closure – NBC Los Angeles
A brush fireplace prompted a freeway closure in Moreno Valley on Saturday, officers mentioned.
Crews responded to the “Iron Fireplace,” which had grown to 250 acres, close to World Logistics Heart Parkway and Eucalyptus Avenue simply earlier than 2:15 p.m., based on the CAL FIRE/Riverside County Fireplace Division.
The company mentioned all westbound lanes of state Route 60 had been closed between Interstate 10 and World Logistics Heart Parkway. It is unknown when the freeway will reopen.
Evacuations weren’t in place, and no accidents have been reported, officers mentioned.
The reason for the hearth is beneath investigation.
