Crews expect fire at Marysville ice company building to burn into Saturday
MARYSVILLE – A warehouse fire that knocked out power to a large swath of Marysville for a time on Friday is expected to burn for a day, firefighters say.
Crews responded to the scene at the Glacier Ice building near 9th and B streets around 2:20 p.m. Flames could be seen shooting through the roof of the building.
The building was fully involved. Firefighters made an interior attack and are continuing to do so into the afternoon.
About 1,136 Yuba County residents lost power for a short time at the start of the fire. One of the facilities affected by the outage included the Yuba County Office of Emergency Services, who closed for the day. A cooling center has been opened at New Beginnings Wesleyan Church at 616 C Street.
Power was mostly restored before 4:30 p.m.
Firefighters say they expect to be around 24 hours until the fire is fully extinguished. Heavy timber, pallets, and other materials are contributing to the fuel load.
Exactly what started the fire is unknown.
Officials say 9th Street east of B Street and Chestnut Street south of the Glacier Ice building is shut down.
