PHOTO OF THE DAY | MAY 9, 2026 | BEHIND THE COMPARTMENT DOORS
Ever wondered what is behind all those doors on a fire engine?
During Girl Scout Troop 2011's May 9 station tour, an open apparatus compartment and an aerial ladder overhead gave visitors plenty to explore.
The red trucks are familiar. What they carry can be less familiar. A station visit is an opportunity to ask about the tools, the different jobs firefighters do and why a crew brings more than a hose to an emergency.
Which tool or piece of equipment have you seen on our apparatus and wondered about? Describe it below. Your questions can help shape a future Ask Your Firefighters post.

RECENT INCIDENT | SEPTEMBER 25, 2026 | EAST HIGHLAND AVENUE, SAN BERNARDINO
Knockdown is a milestone, not the end of the work.
Our members responded to a commercial structure fire in the 2200 block of East Highland Avenue. Heavy fire was showing from the rear and through the roof of a single-story building, and crews began an offensive fire attack.
After knockdown, firefighters remained assigned to salvage, overhaul and complete extinguishment. No injuries were reported in the final incident update.
These three photos show different views of that night's response. They also give us a chance to recognize the work that continues after the most visible flames are brought under control. Firefighters do not simply pack up when the fire looks smaller.
This is a recap of the September 25 response, not an active incident alert.
What part of the work after knockdown would you like us to explain in a future Ask Your Firefighters post?

VIDEO VAULT | DECEMBER 25, 2025 — WEST 7TH STREET, SAN BERNARDINO
On Christmas afternoon, our members responded to a duplex fire in the 800 block of West 7th Street. A downed power line obstructed access, requiring crews to safely navigate an additional life hazard before reaching the burning structure.
All occupants escaped before firefighters arrived. Members immediately established medical care for three adults and one child suffering from smoke inhalation; two adults also sustained minor burns. All four patients were treated and transported, including the two burn patients to a regional burn center.
Firefighters quickly contained the fire and prevented extension to nearby homes. With help from neighbors, all five dogs from the duplex were also secured safely. No firefighter injuries were reported.
Six engine companies, a truck company, a battalion chief and support personnel responded. This incident shows why staffing and resource depth matter: fire suppression, search, exposure protection, electrical hazards and care for multiple patients must be managed at the same time—even on a holiday.
FIRE SAFETY: If fire occurs, get out, stay out and call 911. Never re-enter for belongings or pets. Tell arriving firefighters immediately if anyone or any animal may still be inside.

TRAINING SPOTLIGHT | TILLER TRUCK 224
Where the truck stops matters as much as how it gets there.
Ride along from the rear tiller cab as our members practice positioning Truck 224 beside commercial buildings. The firefighter in this seat steers the rear wheels of the apparatus. It is a working position, not just a passenger seat.
The familiar red truck has a less familiar job happening at its back end. This view gives you a look at the attention and practice behind moving and positioning a tiller truck, before the ladder is ever put to work.
Local 935 is proud to share the preparation behind our members' response. Training like this is part of the job, even when there is no smoke in the picture.
Did you know someone steers the back of a tiller truck? What part of truck-company work would you like to see next?

#photooftheday | ARCHIVE PHOTO
August 23, 2024 | San Bernardino County
Working above a structure fire places truck-company members in a demanding environment of heat, smoke, changing roof conditions and limited visibility. Their assignment may include opening the roof to release superheated gases, checking concealed spaces and creating access for suppression.
These actions are coordinated with interior crews and incident command. Timing matters: ventilation must support hose teams and search operations—not work independently from them. That coordination comes from continuous training and sufficient staffing on the initial assignment.
SAFETY MESSAGE: If fire occurs, leave immediately and close doors behind you. Never return inside for belongings or pets; tell firefighters what remains inside.

VIDEO VAULT | JANUARY 5, 2026 — MOJAVE RIVER, HESPERIA
Late that night, our members responded to a swift-water rescue after two men crossed fast-moving, extremely cold water to reach a dog stranded in a small box canyon. After reaching the animal, the men found themselves cut off and unable to cross back safely as darkness and hazardous current conditions intensified.
County Fire’s Urban Search and Rescue personnel transitioned into swift-water operations, donned specialized protective equipment and deployed an inflatable rescue boat. The two men and the dog were brought safely across the river without injury.
The response included four engine companies, an ambulance, a battalion chief, a safety officer, a drone and specialized USAR resources, with assistance from the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department. This successful rescue shows why trained specialty teams, adequate staffing and immediately available equipment are vital across the High Desert’s large response area.
SWIFT-WATER SAFETY: Moving water is stronger and colder than it appears. Never enter a river or flood channel to rescue a person or animal. Call 911, keep visual contact from a safe location and allow trained rescuers to respond. Turn around, don’t drown.

VIDEO VAULT | JANUARY 14, 2026 — SEQUOIA DRIVE, LAKE ARROWHEAD
Our members responded at approximately 9:33 a.m. to a residential structure fire in the 1300 block of Sequoia Drive. Firefighters arrived to find a working fire in the upper levels of a two-story hillside home.
Mountain incidents present unique challenges, including steep terrain, limited access, winter conditions and the need to protect neighboring homes and surrounding forest. Using roads above and below the property, crews mounted an aggressive interior attack and brought the fire under control in under an hour without extension to adjacent residences or vegetation.
Twenty-two personnel—including five engine companies, two chief officers and two medic ambulances—were assigned, with an engine from CAL FIRE assisting through mutual aid. Two firefighters were evaluated for minor injuries, and one was transported for treatment.
This response highlights the importance of adequately staffing mountain stations and maintaining reliable apparatus, medical resources and regional partnerships. Remote terrain does not reduce the urgency of an emergency; it increases the need for capable resources positioned close to the communities they protect.
SAFETY MESSAGE: Maintain working smoke alarms on every level, practice two ways out and keep driveways and address numbers visible for responding crews.
