Firefighters Contain Fire at Business in Adelanto

County firefighters responded late last night to reports of a possible structure fire at a commercial business located at the north end of Adelanto. Upon arrival, firefighters encountered a business filled with smoke, indicating a potential fire situation. Entry was gained after breaching security gates, leading to the discovery of high heat conditions and a smoldering fire towards the rear of the building.

Despite significant smoke and heat damage sustained by the occupancy, prompt action by the firefighters ensured containment of the fire, preventing further escalation. Thankfully, neighboring businesses were spared from damage, and no injuries were reported among firefighters or civilians.

The response effort involved three engines, one truck, and one chief, totaling 14 personnel. Additional assistance was provided by the City of Victorville.The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the county office of the Marshall.

Firefighters Respond to Commercial Fire in Hesperia

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.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation by the County Office of the Fire Marshal.

NEWS: San Bernardino County Fire Receives Generous Vehicle Donation to Support Community Outreach and Support Teams

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, CA - The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District (SBCoFD) is proud to announce the acceptance of a substantial donation from Arrowhead Credit Union through the ArrowHeart Foundation, a transit vehicle valued at approximately $36,870. This generous contribution will significantly enhance the operations of the Community Outreach and Support Team (COAST) Program.

This vehicle will be instrumental in transporting individuals, including the unhoused or those experiencing a mental crisis, along with their belongings, to crisis centers or appropriate facilities. The donation aligns with the Fire District's commitment to operate in a fiscally-responsible manner and to prioritize the safety, health, and social service needs of San Bernardino County residents.

"We are thankful to Arrowhead Credit Union and the ArrowHeart Foundation for their generous support of our COAST program. This donation is not just a vehicle; it's an important resource that will greatly benefit the residents of San Bernardino County,” said Fire Chief Dan Munsey. “With this addition to our fleet, our COAST program can extend its reach and provide timely, compassionate care to those in mental health crises. This partnership exemplifies community collaboration at its best and underscores our shared commitment to enhancing public service and safety."

The COAST program is a collaborative effort between County Fire, local law enforcement partners and the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health. The program offers a new level of care for community members experiencing mental health crises. Since its inception, COAST has made significant impacts, including the successful COAST1 program in the City of Fontana, the COAST2 program in the City of San Bernardino, and the COAST3 program serving the unincorporated communities in the East Valley Division.

Each County Fire COAST team member is a handler of a CARE Team therapy dog. These dogs can help ease the hesitancy of a person in crisis towards law enforcement and emergency services. Therapy dogs help deescalate crises, allowing behavioral health personnel to address individual needs effectively. Patients are then moved to mental health facilities for ongoing care by the county’s behavioral health team. This ongoing support aims to reduce future crises and the need for a law enforcement or fire/EMS responses. It provides resources for coping with future mental health crises and helps keep patients out of jail and emergency rooms.

The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District reminds residents that help is always available for those suffering from or encountering someone in a mental health crisis. The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline is accessible by dialing 9-8-8, and in immediate danger situations, dial 9-1-1.
