Kimberly-Clark Warehouse Fire in Ontario Leads to Arson Charges Against Employee
A massive fire erupted at the Kimberly-Clark paper products facility in Ontario, California, early Tuesday morning. The blaze, which quickly escalated to a six-alarm fire, forced firefighters to retreat due to rapid fire growth and caused the building's roof to collapse. Approximately 175 firefighters responded to the incident, which required high-volume hoses to contain the flames. The fire led to the evacuation of about 20 employees, and one employee, Chamel Abdulkarim, was initially reported missing. Abdulkarim, who works for NFI Industries, a third-party distribution company for Kimberly-Clark, was later found and charged with multiple arson-related felonies. The fire was eventually contained, but firefighters are expected to remain on the scene to ensure complete extinguishment.
