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.

INCIDENT VIDEO RELEASE - Hesperia - Friday, July 24, 2026:
Last Friday, Division 5 firefighters were dispatched to a residential structure fire in the City of Hesperia. Crews from the newly opened Fire Station 306 arrived to find smoke and fire showing from the rear of a single-story home.
Firefighters quickly confirmed with occupants that everyone was safely outside, then deployed hose lines to attack a well-involved fire in multiple rear rooms. Fire had also extended to nearby vehicles, property, fencing, and brush, initially threatening surrounding homes. With additional resources on scene, crews protected neighboring properties; damage was limited to a shed and brush on the property north of the involved home.
With temperatures around 100 degrees, crews worked through intense heat and were rotated into rehabilitation as additional personnel assisted with overhaul. An ambulance was on scene to support firefighter rehab following the initial attack and knockdown.
This incident video offers a look at conditions firefighters commonly encounter. Structure fires often involve low or zero visibility, not the clear conditions often shown in movies. Firefighters must search for victims, locate the seat of the fire, and suppress it while navigating heat, smoke, and rapidly changing conditions. Tools such as thermal imaging cameras, along with coordinated vertical ventilation by truck crews, can help release superheated gases and smoke, improve visibility, and reduce flashover potential. In the video, crews advance down a hallway to locate and extinguish a remaining well-involved bedroom fire. No civilian or firefighter injuries were reported.

RECENT RESPONSE | July 18, 2026 | 300 block W. Highland Ave., San Bernardino
Our members recently responded to a heavily involved commercial strip-building fire with flames through the roof. Crews mounted a defensive attack, using multiple handlines and an aerial master stream flowing more than 1,000 gallons per minute while protecting an adjacent two-story business and dance studio.
Six engines, two truck companies, a battalion chief, investigator and public information officer were assigned. The fire was knocked down in approximately 30 minutes, and no injuries were reported.
Incidents like this show why reliable staffing, truck-company capability and sustained water supply matter in every community.
SAFETY MESSAGE: Business owners should keep exits clear, maintain alarms and extinguishers, and ensure employees know the evacuation plan.

STATION HIGHLIGHT | STATION 227
Progress toward stronger public safety infrastructure is underway in San Bernardino. County Fire and community partners have broken ground on a new 10,764-square-foot Station 227, replacing a facility that has served for more than 60 years.
Planned resources include a Type I paramedic fire engine, a brush engine and a future squad—supporting faster, stronger emergency response in the Arrowhead neighborhood.
Local 935 thanks the elected officials and community partners who continue to prioritize public safety, modern infrastructure and the replacement of aging fire stations. Investments like this help give firefighters the facilities and resources they need to serve our communities safely and effectively.
