Firefighters Turn Out in Pink This October Firefi Firefighters Turn Out in Pink This October

Firefighters across the United States and Canada are showing their support in the fight against breast cancer by wearing pink throughout October.

As dedicated first responders, #Local935 #SBCoFD firefighters are not only committed to protecting our communities during emergencies but also to supporting critical health causes. This October, they are proudly wearing pink to raise awareness about breast cancer—a disease that touches the lives of many, including those within the firefighting community.

Firefighters are exposed to harmful carcinogens and chemicals while on the job, making them more vulnerable to cancers, including breast cancer. These occupational hazards have brought a deeper personal connection to the fight against the disease. With an estimated 297,790 new cases of breast cancer projected in the U.S. for 2024, and approximately 43,170 deaths expected this year, breast cancer remains a pressing public health issue. Furthermore, 85 percent of women diagnosed with breast cancer have no family history, underscoring the need for continued awareness, prevention, and early detection efforts.

For many firefighters, the commitment to breast cancer awareness is personal—driven by experiences with family members, friends, or colleagues who have been impacted. By wearing pink and supporting breast cancer initiatives, firefighters are not just standing in solidarity with survivors and those currently fighting the disease, but they are also advocating for broader awareness and life-saving treatment options for everyone.

Remembering Cory Norton Today marks four years si Remembering Cory Norton

Today marks four years since the passing of SBCoFD Engineer Cory Norton, who fought a courageous battle with Epithelioid Sarcoma until *2020*. For the San Bernardino County Professional Firefighters, IAFF Local 935, this day serves as a reminder of the lasting impact Cory had on all of us. His absence continues to be felt each day.

Cory passed away on September 15, 2020, just days before his 34th birthday. He is survived by his wife Tawni, his son Cole, and his daughter Tenley. His career with the San Bernardino County Fire District, which began in 2008 after serving four years as a Paid-Call Firefighter, was cut short by cancer, but his dedication to the fire service and his family never wavered.

Cory’s nearly five-year battle with this rare form of cancer was followed by many. His strength, positive outlook, and perseverance through countless treatments and surgeries left a strong impression on everyone who knew him. “Norton Strong” and “Fight On Cory Norton” became rallying cries for those who admired his determination. Cory’s commitment to raising awareness about fire service-related cancers and his devotion to his family remained steadfast throughout his fight.

In Cory’s honor, both the San Bernardino County Professional Firefighters, Local 935, and the San Bernardino County Fire District adopted a policy recognizing July as Sarcoma Awareness Month. As part of this tribute, we wear duty t-shirts with a yellow ribbon as a symbol of our continued support for Cory’s family and the cause he championed.

Two years ago, Cory’s name was added to the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial in Colorado and the California Firefighters Memorial in Sacramento, ensuring his memory lives on in the fire service community.

Cory, your contributions and your fight have left a lasting legacy. You are deeply missed, but never forgotten. We stand with your family and will continue to carry the torch for the causes you held dear.
Firefighters Contain Brushfire in Lucerne, One Hom Firefighters Contain Brushfire in Lucerne, One Home Damaged

Lucerne, CA –Last week, San Bernardino County firefighters responded to reports of an unknown type fire at the 11,000 block of Kendall Road in the community of Lucerne. As firefighters left the station, smoke could be seen several miles away.

Upon arrival, Medic Engine 8 found a quarter acre of brush burning in light to medium fuels with a moderate rate of spread. One home was immediately threatened by the advancing fire. A full first alarm vegetation response was requested which brought additional resources and firefighters to the scene. Initial crews deployed hose lines to protect the structure that was at risk.

The exterior portion of the building sustained damage, with some extension into the attic space. Quick action by the initial crews kept the fire from causing further damage. The fire was ultimately contained to approximately half an acre, with several piles of debris and other trash requiring extensive overhaul.

No injuries were reported among firefighters or civilians. The Red Cross was requested to assist with the needs of the occupants. Cal Fire and Apple Valley Fire District assisted with one engine each. San Bernardino County Fire responded with two engines, one water tender, one chief officer, and one paramedic ambulance, totaling 10 personnel.

The cause remains under investigation.

County Firefighters Respond to Early Morning Attic County Firefighters Respond to Early Morning Attic Fire

Hesperia, CA – Last week, San Bernardino County Fire responded to reports of a structure fire at the 14,000 block of Orange Street in the City of Hesperia.

Upon arrival, firefighters found a single-story home with smoke and fire showing from the attic. As firefighters deployed hose lines and gained access to the structure, an established attic fire was found running through the entire home. Initial priorities were to confirm evacuations, conduct a primary search, and deploy hose lines to limit any fire spread. Truck crews went to the roof to support interior firefighters with suppression efforts. Additional storage was found in the rafters specifically in the garage, this additional fire loading contributed to the fire spread and difficulty in suppression efforts with limited access for firefighters. A hose line was taken to the roof to aid and fire suppression efforts. A primary and secondary search of the home was conducted, and it was determined to be all clear of occupants.

As knockdown was achieved, a grow operation was found in the garage. Additional steps were taken to secure utilities and power with Southern California Edison. The Sheriff’s Department was requested and is working with County Office of the Fire Marshal on the cause and origin.

San Bernardino County Fire responded yesterday afternoon to reports of a potential structure fire at the 14,000 block of Primrose Place in the City of Hesperia. Upon arrival, firefighters observed smoke emanating from a residential home, particularly from an attached garage to a single-story dwelling.

Firefighters initiated an offensive fire attack, deploying lines and gaining access to the property. As they approached the structure, moderate smoke conditions were evident throughout.

Additional crews were mobilized as smoke conditions rapidly evolved.

In tandem with interior crews engaged in fire suppression, a team ascended to the roof for vertical ventilation, aiding in enhancing visibility and reducing heat levels within the structure. Their coordinated efforts proved successful, containing the fire to the attached storage garage where it originated.

During the operation, several cats were found within the affected structure and removed. Animal control services were promptly requested to assist the residents with their pets.

The response effort involved three engines, one truck, and one battalion chief from the county, totaling 14 personnel. The City of Victorville Fire Department provided assistance during the incident. The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the county office of the fire marshal. Fortunately, no injuries were reported among firefighters or civilians.

Hesperia, CA: #SBCoFD responded to reports of a possible fire at the 14,100 block of Main Street near Topaz Avenue just after midnight on Friday. Upon arrival, flames were observed emanating from the roof of a multiple-business commercial strip. As firefighters gained entry into the occupancies below they encountered cold smoke to the floor with limited visibility. 

As additional units arrived, it became evident that the fire had originated in the void space of the building’s façade. Due to the fire’s location, accessing the area of origin proved difficult. Firefighters made access to the roof and deployed hose lines from ladder trucks to suppress the flames while utilizing chainsaws to gain access to the void space in the roof. Multiple sprinkler heads within the attic were activated, aiding in containment efforts. Despite the significant water damage sustained by the businesses below from the sprinkler water flow, the fire was kept from spreading laterally through the open space that extended across the building.  No injuries to civilians or firefighters were reported.

Assistance was provided by the Victorville Fire Department. A total of seven engines, two trucks, two battalion chiefs, one medic ambulance, and two fire investigators, comprising 33 personnel, were mobilized to the scene.

County firefighters recently engaged in extricatio County firefighters recently engaged in extrication training in Division 5, North Desert service zone. The training encompassed the refinement of skills, exploration of new techniques, and discussions on contemporary challenges posed by modern vehicles.

Key focus on Hydraulic Rescue Tools, commonly referred to as the jaws of life, was paramount. These tools serve emergency rescue personnel in extricating victims from vehicle accidents and confined spaces. The toolkit comprises cutters, spreaders, and rams.

In the context of today’s automobiles with reinforced safety features, thick pillars, and robust metal structures, the use of Hydraulic Rescue Tools becomes crucial. These tools, powered by pressurized fluid, amplify cutting and bending capabilities, overcoming the challenges presented by the dense metal in modern vehicles. 🚒🔧
