Inside a controlled live-fire evolution, recruits train through smoke, heat, hose movement and coordinated entry. Experienced instructors build the fundamentals, teamwork and disciplined decision-making required before firefighters serve on the line.
This is where long-term staffing begins. Investment in recruit academies, instructors and reliable equipment helps attract, prepare and retain capable career firefighters for the communities we serve.

RECENT INCIDENT | Residential Structure Fire - Division 2
Our members recently responded to a residential structure fire in Division 2, City of San Bernardino. First-arriving firefighters found a single-story home with smoke and fire showing from the front door and porch area. Crews deployed an initial attack line and began fire suppression operations.
With no confirmed rescue or known victim inside, firefighters are required to wait for additional personnel before making entry. Under two-in, two-out, a minimum of two firefighters enter together while at least two additional firefighters remain outside to support the operation and be ready to assist if conditions change.
While additional crews arrived, firefighters continued advancing the incident: securing water supply, deploying more hose lines, conducting size-up, protecting exposures, and using exterior or transitional fire attack tactics to reduce heat and improve interior conditions.
Once sufficient personnel and equipment were in place, crews could transition into a safer interior operation.

RECENT RESPONSE | July 15, 2026 | San Bernardino County
Our members recently responded to a fast-moving vegetation fire in an open grass field behind a mobile-home park. Crews moved quickly to protect nearby homes and contained the fire at approximately two acres. Two homes sustained minor damage, and no injuries were reported.
The response included five engines, two battalion chiefs, two hand crews, robotics resources, an investigator and a public information officer, with assistance from Rialto Fire Department.
This incident highlights the value of rapid initial attack, coordinated resources and well-staffed crews when fire threatens neighborhoods.
SAFETY MESSAGE: Clear dry vegetation from around structures, keep access routes open and be ready to leave early when officials issue evacuation instructions.

RECENT RESPONSE | July 10, 2026 | Allen Way and Sunset Road
Our members responded with CAL FIRE BDU to a vegetation fire that grew rapidly under strong west winds and crossed onto adjacent property. Firefighters stopped the fire at approximately 15 acres.
A primary residence, outbuildings and several vehicles were damaged or destroyed. No injuries were reported, and the American Red Cross assisted displaced residents. We thank our cooperating agencies for the rapid, coordinated response.
Wind-driven vegetation fires can threaten homes within minutes. Effective initial attack depends on well-staffed engines, wildland resources and mutual-aid partners arriving quickly enough to protect lives and limit additional loss.
SAFETY MESSAGE: Maintain defensible space, clear dry vegetation and combustible debris, and leave early if evacuation instructions are issued.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS DO | Ready for Every Terrain
The firefighters represented by Local 935 do far more than respond to structure fires. Our members train and work across wildland incidents, swift-water emergencies, technical rescues and major disasters.
SBCoFD specialty resources—including Urban Search and Rescue, advanced swift-water teams, dozers and professional hand crews—help make that work possible across one of the nation’s largest and most diverse counties. Sustained staffing, training and equipment matter because every community deserves a capable response.

SUMMIT FIRE | July 10–17 | Llano / Los Angeles–San Bernardino County Line
Earlier this month, Local 935 members supported the regional response to the Summit Fire. Firefighters worked through steep, rocky terrain, extreme heat and narrow access roads while building and reinforcing control lines.
The fire burned 2,690 acres before reaching 100% containment on July 17. We recognize our members and every partner agency that worked to protect threatened communities and secure the fire’s perimeter.

#photooftheday San Bernardino County Fire Department #SBCoFD utilizes a diverse fleet of specialized apparatus to meet the unique demands of our region—including Type 3 engines, which are critical for wildland and wildland-urban interface operations.
Purpose-built for off-road capability, Type 3 engines feature four-wheel drive, high ground clearance, and a compact design, allowing crews to access remote and rugged terrain where standard fire apparatus cannot operate. These engines are a vital component in our initial attack strategy, particularly during peak wildfire activity.
Equipped with several hundred gallons of water, specialized hose lays, and tools for extended deployment, Type 3 engines enable firefighters to perform direct fire suppression, structure defense, and perimeter control in dynamic and rapidly evolving environments.
As wildfire threats continue to grow in scale and frequency, San Bernardino County Fire remains fully committed to protecting our communities. Through continued investment in specialized equipment, ongoing training, and a proactive approach to preparedness, we stand ready to serve with professionalism, resilience, and unwavering dedication. #throwback

RECENT RESPONSE | July 25, 2026 | 600 block E. Brier Drive, San Bernardino
Our members recently responded to a vegetation fire burning near the 600 block of East Brier Drive. Crews stopped the forward rate of spread at approximately 2.5 acres and remained on scene for extensive mop-up to ensure complete extinguishment.
The response included seven engines, a hand crew, water tender, battalion chief, two safety officers, an investigator and a public information officer. No injuries were reported. We thank the Colton and Redlands fire departments for assisting as mutual-aid cooperators.
Rapid initial attack requires trained personnel, dependable apparatus and enough depth in the system to assemble resources before a vegetation fire reaches homes or businesses.
SAFETY MESSAGE: Remove dry vegetation and combustible debris from around structures, and report smoke early so firefighters can begin containment quickly.
