Sure would be nice if you put the address or the cross streets where the fires are. I would really appreciate it. Thank you very much.
Looks like an abandoned building
Where is this?

#photooftheday On September 5, 2020, the El Dorado Fire ignited in the San Bernardino National Forest near Yucaipa, California. The fire was caused by a smoke-generating pyrotechnic device used during a gender reveal party. The fire burned 22,680 acres across Yucaipa, Oak Glen, and surrounding areas, threatening homes and natural landscapes. Over 1,300 firefighters and multiple air and ground resources were deployed to contain the fire, including engines, dozers, hand crews, and air tankers many of the resources coming from #SBCoFD. The fire was fully contained on October 26, 2020, after more than a month of firefighting efforts. Crews worked in challenging terrain and extreme conditions to control the fire.#FilePhoto

#photooftheday #FilePhoto Firefighters from #SBCoFD responded to a traffic accident involving a vehicle that collided with a traffic pole. These types of incidents require rapid and precise actions to ensure the safety of all individuals involved, as well as the responding personnel.
In these situations, the primary objectives are to stabilize the vehicle to prevent it from rolling onto patients or emergency crews, provide advanced medical care and transport to those injured, and mitigate any further risk of collapse or additional damage. SBCoFD personnel, with other emergency responders, worked to secure the scene, assess injuries, and begin the safe extrication of individuals trapped inside the vehicle to facilitate care.

I agree with you Holla Love
#photooftheday #FilePhoto Firefighters from #SBCoFD responded to a reported structure fire in the City of San Bernardino.
Did you know why firefighters cut holes in the roof during a fire? Firefighters use a technique known as vertical ventilation, which involves cutting holes in the roof of a burning structure. This tactic allows heat, smoke, and gases to escape, improving visibility and air quality for both firefighters inside the building and any trapped individuals.
In addition to improving conditions, vertical ventilation helps to reduce the risk of flashover, a rapid and deadly spread of fire throughout the structure. By creating a controlled opening, firefighters can better manage the fire's behavior, significantly enhancing both their safety and the overall effectiveness of the firefighting operation.

And it makes a good photo op for the truckies as the above picture demonstrates.
Crews Contain Residential Structure Fire in Yucca Valley
San Bernardino County Fire personnel responded to a residential structure fire in Yucca Valley on March 19 at approximately 1:30 p.m. in the 15000 block of Mountain View Trail.
Upon arrival, fire crews encountered smoke and fire conditions within a single-family home. Engine companies initiated interior fire attack while truck company operations handled roof ventilation. The fire was brought under control in under 45 minutes, preventing spread beyond the structure and minimizing further damage.
A total of 17 firefighters responded to the scene. CAL FIRE BDU assisted with suppression efforts, and San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department provided traffic control and scene support.
The residence was evacuated prior to arrival. No injuries were reported. Preliminary investigation points to an electrical issue as a potential cause.
Yucca Valley remains one of the more underserved and understaffed regions in the County Fire system. Due to limited available resources, it’s not uncommon for extended response times to occur when assembling a sufficient number of personnel to manage complex incidents like structure fires.
In the fire service, time is a critical factor. Studies show that a room can flashover in as little as 4–6 minutes, with fire doubling in size approximately every 30 seconds after ignition. In EMS emergencies, delays in oxygen delivery can result in irreversible brain damage within 4–6 minutes and cardiac muscle begins to die immediately during a heart attack.
Effective response requires not only the presence of skilled personnel—but the timely arrival of enough firefighters to initiate coordinated fire attack, search, ventilation, and support operations. Incidents like this demonstrate the need for greater investment in staffing, coverage, and resources for high-risk communities across our service area.

Crews Contain Residential Structure Fire in Upland
A recent residential structure fire in Upland was brought under control quickly thanks to coordinated efforts from San Bernardino County Fire personnel and allied agencies.
At approximately 4:00 p.m. on March 19, firefighters responded to reports of a structure fire in the 1100 block of 11th Street. Upon arrival, crews found smoke and fire coming from the second story of a two-story residence. Engine companies initiated an interior attack while truck company personnel performed vertical ventilation operations on the roof. The coordinated strategy helped crews contain the fire in under 25 minutes, limiting fire spread and preventing further damage to adjacent areas of the home.
A total of 22 fire personnel responded to the incident, including assistance from the City of Montclair and the Rancho Cucamonga Fire District. Upland Police Department supported the operation by providing traffic control and securing the scene.
Four adults and one juvenile were displaced by the incident. The American Red Cross was requested to provide temporary support and assistance to the affected occupants. No injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
This incident demonstrates the effectiveness of well-trained crews, proper staffing levels, and interagency coordination. San Bernardino County Fire crews operate in a wide variety of environments and rely on clearly defined roles and communication to deliver consistent and effective emergency response.
Maintaining reliable staffing ensures that each arriving unit is equipped to perform its function on scene—whether that’s initial fire attack, ventilation, search, or exposure protection. When combined with mutual aid partnerships and continuous training, this system supports strong outcomes for both life safety and property conservation.

#photooftheday Firefighters from the #SBCoFD utilize a range of specialized equipment, including the Tiller Truck. These trucks are engineered for superior maneuverability in tight or congested spaces. The distinct steering system allows the rear of the vehicle to be controlled independently from the front, enabling sharp turns and access to areas where larger trucks may be unable to navigate.
This advanced maneuverability is vital for responding in urban environments, making the Tiller Truck a crucial asset for fire suppression and rescue operations, particularly in complex and challenging situations.
Equipped with an array of specialized tools, equipment, and ladders, Trucks are capable of supporting a variety of operations, including roof operations, high-angle rescues, and more.
Did you know? #SBCoFD staffs 6 tiller trucks spread throughout the county.

Six TDA’s or six Truck companies total?
Paramedics Train on Upgraded Cardiac Monitors
#SBCoFD personnel recently completed in-service training on upgraded Zoll X-Series Advanced EKG monitor/defibrillators. The newest features now provide real-time feedback during ventilation—helping rescuers deliver oxygen at the correct rate and volume when assisting patients who require respiratory support.
This training highlights the Fire District’s continued investment in the tools and education needed to deliver exceptional prehospital care.
At San Bernardino County Fire, many of our firefighters are dual-trained as paramedics, operating on engines, trucks, and squads to provide advanced life support during all-risk emergencies. Others serve as ambulance operator paramedics, delivering frontline ALS care and transport across the county’s vast and diverse service area.
From urban centers to remote mountain and desert communities, our members stand ready to provide life-saving EMS when seconds matter.

I love the fact they just keep getting smaller. In my day it was like dragging a boat anchor.
Remember when the San Bernardino County Sheriff Department killed a 15 year old hostage?
#videoclipoftheday: Arrive on scene with Truck 224, Division 2, City of San Bernardino
Firefighters arrived to find an established fire in a single-story residential home. Our members entered the building to complete a primary search for any occupants and then began fire attack to extinguish the fire.
As interior crews worked inside, truck companies performed vertical ventilation on the roof above. This critical tactic helps to release superheated gases and smoke, improving conditions for firefighters working inside and increasing visibility for search and suppression efforts. Coordinated ventilation plays a key role in supporting the overall fireground operation, reducing heat buildup, and aiding in faster extinguishment.
Call volume and service demands are extremely high within this division, between calls for fire, rescue, and emergency medical services. While incidents like these are happening, move-up engines must be brought into the region from surrounding County Fire service areas to provide coverage for the ongoing emergencies that continue to come in while the fire is happening.
