More than a dozen families lost their homes on Monday after a fire ripped through an apartment complex.<\/p>\n
Video from the scene showed flames and heavy smoke coming from several apartment units Monday afternoon as those who were displaced watched helplessly. Among those whose home was destroyed or heavily damaged is a newlywed couple who had just celebrated their wedding on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been a rollercoaster of emotions for my wife and daughter,\u201d said Andrew Villase\u00f1or, who just got married on Saturday. \u201cWe lost everything.\u201d<\/p>\n
Villase\u00f1or and his wife, Karina, received a call from the complex management while running errands. The Rialto man shared how he was informed of the fire.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe need to make sure the unit is vacant because your house is on fire and it\u2019s gone and our hearts dropped,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Crews rushed to the apartment complex to battle the blaze as temperatures on Monday hit near-triple digits.<\/p>\n
\u201cI saw people crying, many families. It was terrible,\u201d a woman who resided in the complex said.<\/p>\n
The American Red Cross was seen supporting impacted residents on Tuesday while investigators begin to assess the damage and determine a cause.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy wife\u2019s wedding dress was destroyed,\u201d Villase\u00f1or said. \u201cThose are things we want to keep as memories.\u201d<\/p>\n
The cause of the fire remains under investigation. There were no injuries reported in connection with the blaze.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"More than a dozen families lost their homes on Monday after a fire ripped through an apartment complex.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":487577,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48,52,51,47,50,49,56394],"class_list":["post-487576","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news","tag-rialto"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487576","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=487576"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487576\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487577"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487576"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=487576"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=487576"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
