Firefighters put out blaze at jewelry store
RIALTO - A jewelry pawn shop was damaged by smoke and a firefighter was treated for heat exhaustion after a fire broke out Sunday in the business at about 9:30 a.m.
Firefighters were called to the Rialto Jewelry and Loan Store on the 800 block of East Foothill Boulevard. When crews arrived, they found smoke emanating from the store, which was located in a strip complex.
Crews attacked the blaze from the rear of the store and kept it confined to the rear storage area, according to a Rialto Fire Department press release. No employees were in the store at the time of the fire, officials said.
One firefighter, who was not immediately identified, was treated by Rialto paramedics for heat exhaustion and taken to a hospital where he was released Sunday night, said department spokesman Brian Park.
Rialto fire's investigation unit was still trying to determine the cause of the blaze, Park said Sunday.

===============================================================
I hope that the Firefighter was not hurt to badly. I really think that they need to look at this as some kind of burglary that is covered up, maybe by the owner. The owner has taken or found taking so much stuff for himself what better way to finance the stuff lost then with a fire, It can be largely done. I am just really glad that in all the firefighting that no one was seriously hurt. and if it was some kind of burglary that was covered up with a fire they always look to the owners to begin with anyway!! I mean that is a gimme!!
