Massive fire pushes through multiple structures, cars at Hwy 99 in Selma

SELMA, Caliph. (KFSN) – Crews fought a major fire in Selma that swept through multiple structures and set several cars on fire Friday morning.

The massive fire completely destroyed an abandoned structure and at least three other outbuildings.

The flames broke out at 7.30pm at McCall and Blaine Avenues.

Thick, dark plumes of smoke could be seen from Highway 99 and affected visibility for drivers.

Several streets were closed, including Valley View St at S McCall Avenue and S McCall Avenue at E Mountain View Avenue.

Firefighters say wind was extinguishing the fire in the nearby grass.

Within a few minutes, a house was completely decorated.

The fire continued to burn through at least three outbuildings and several cars before being extinguished by crews.

A series of explosions were also reported during the arson.

About 25 firefighters from several different agencies responded to the blaze.

Crews say traveling on county roads, with added traffic Friday night, gave them some trouble getting to the structures.

They were still on scene within four minutes, and were working fast to contain those flames.

Firefighters believe all burning structures were abandoned.

No injuries were reported.

The cause of the fire is being investigated.
