Incident: Residential Fire
Summary:
Last night San Bernardino County Fire crews were dispatched to a reported residential structure fire in the 5700 block of Adobe Rd, 29 Palms. Numerous 911 callers stated smoke and fire from a home.
Firefighters quickly arrived to find an exterior fire that had spread to a vacant single story residential home. Arriving crews initiated an aggressive attack, working to knock down the fire & limit extension to the residence. Firefighters prioritized entering the home to perform a search of the occupancy to confirm no victims were trapped. Due to construction features of the home, the fire quickly spread to an attic and void space which hampered suppression efforts. Firefighters worked from the roof with chainsaws to expose & limit the spread.
Ultimately the fire was knocked down in approximately 45 minutes. All searches of the home came back negative. Firefighters remained on-scene for multiple hours working on overhaul and salvage operations. No injuries to civilians or firefighters were noted. The fire remains under investigation by Fire Investigators. The home, originally built in 1938 sustained significant damage.
San Bernardino County Fire responded with four Engines, a Battalion Chief &a Fire Investigator. Combat Center Fire assisted with an Engine Company.
