Video shows massive fire engulf an Amazon distribution center in California
An Amazon distribution warehouse is seen on video burning from a massive fire, California firefighters said.
The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District said on Twitter that a massive fire broke out at about 5:30 a.m. Friday at the third-party Amazon distribution center in Redlands, California, located more than 60 miles east of Los Angeles.
“It’s a major structure fire at a warehouse, there are some Amazon trucks on the outside of it, it’s been reported that it’s a supplier to Amazon,” Redlands City Manager Charles M. Duggan Jr. told FOX 11.
Duggan told the TV station that the fire is “definitely not protest-related.”
Amazon told CBSLA that no workers reported being injured. The company also expects “minimal” impact to customer orders, according to the news outlet.
“We are glad everyone is safe, and thankful for the efforts of the local firefighters and first responders,” Amazon told CBSLA. “This site was operated by a third party and we will support them throughout this process.”
On social media, people showed the huge clouds of smoke and massive flames of the fire.
