The four-alarm fire Sunday morning that destroyed a third of the 164 apartment units being built at Atherton Drive and Van Ryn Avenue is expected to reach millions of dollars making it the most destructive fire in Manteca history. Manteca Fire Chief Kyle Shipherd said the fire was suspicious in origin and is under investigation. Shipherd acknowledged it could easily have been caused by individuals attempting to keep warm during the cool night temperatures.
