Fire Damages Boarded-Up Former Epoch Casino in Rancho Cordova

The cause is under investigation following a defensive response at the hard-to-access, repeatedly remodeled site.

Overview

  • Sacramento Metro Fire crews were dispatched around 2:23 a.m. to the 11000 block of Folsom Boulevard just east of Sunrise Boulevard.
  • Officials said the blaze began outside, moved into the interior and attic, and spread rapidly through the structure.
  • Firefighters mounted an initial attack before shifting to a defensive strategy due to hazardous conditions and limited access.
  • No injuries were reported, and crews entered mop-up and hotspot checks as morning commuter traffic faced closures nearby.
  • Arson investigators were expected to examine the origin and cause, with crews projected to remain on scene for several hours.
