On 2/9/16 Riverside Police were dispatched to an apartment building on N. Pavilion Avenue for a report of a fire alarm going off. Upon arrival a smoke condition was observed and police began evacuating the building. Officers determined the concentration of smoke was coming from one particular apartment.
