RECENT INCIDENT | MARCH 10, 2026 | FOOTHILL BOULEVARD EAST OF BENSON AVENUE, UPLAND

Local 935 members responded shortly after 2:30 p.m. to a reported natural-gas leak after contractors struck a four-inch main. Medic Engine 163 found a moderate-volume release and immediately established an exclusion zone.

Firefighters used air-monitoring equipment to evaluate atmospheric conditions and confirmed there was no threat to the public outside the exclusion zone and no need for evacuations. Members remained on scene supporting SoCalGas personnel while the damaged main was isolated. Four valves and an internal bladder were used to stop the flow at approximately 8:15 p.m. Foothill Boulevard remained closed during the operation. No injuries were reported.

Gas emergencies require trained personnel, monitoring equipment, traffic control, coordination with utilities and enough staffed resources to maintain a safe perimeter for as long as the incident requires.

NATURAL-GAS SAFETY: If you smell rotten eggs or hear escaping gas, leave the area immediately. Do not operate switches, start vehicles or use anything that could create a spark. From a safe location, call 911 and the gas utility.

APPARATUS SPOTLIGHT | MEDIC ENGINE 306 | HESPERIA

Photo credit:

Meet Medic Engine 306, a KME-built paramedic fire engine serving Hesperia's south end.

There is a lot of working design behind that familiar red exterior. The four-door cab carries the crew, while the side-mounted pump panel brings gauges, controls and hose connections together in one working area. Exterior compartments organize equipment outside the cab, and ground ladders travel along the side of the engine.

The pump panel is part of the engine's water-delivery system. It is where firefighters manage the pumping side of the response, separate from the work of the crews using the hose lines. The apparatus is a working platform, not simply transportation to the call.

Station 306 was established on Ranchero Road near I Avenue with a paramedic engine company, an ambulance crew and a brush engine staffed by station personnel for wildland fires. Fire protection, medical care and wildland response are all part of serving this community.

Across County Fire, similarly outfitted engines help create consistency for the people using them. Apparatus committee members and fire mechanics contribute to design, inspections and outfitting.

For Local 935, dependable apparatus, thoughtful equipment layout and training are investments in the working tools our members rely on.

What would you like us to explain in a future walk-around: the pump panel, hose connections or equipment compartments?

RECENT INCIDENT | SEPTEMBER 11, 2026 | NORTH G STREET, SAN BERNARDINO

Abandoned does not mean empty.

At 12:02 p.m. on September 11, Local 935 members responded to a commercial structure fire in the 200 block of North G Street. Smoke was coming from the second story and roof of a former bank that had experienced previous fires. Bystanders reported someone trapped upstairs.

Firefighters entered from the first and second floors and searched the building. No occupants were found. Crews located a debris fire on the second floor, advanced hose lines upstairs and coordinated with truck companies opening the roof to release smoke and heat. The fire was extinguished in approximately 20 minutes, with no civilian or firefighter injuries reported.

The search could not wait on an assumption about an abandoned building. Our members had to check for people while other crews worked to reach the fire and improve interior conditions. Different assignments, carried out together, are what you are seeing in this video.

Local 935 is proud to recognize the firefighters doing that work, inside the building and on the roof. Follow us to learn more about the people and teamwork behind your fire and emergency services.

This video documents the September 11 response, not an active incident or the separate March 17 fire at this address.

ASK YOUR FIREFIGHTERS | RESCUE TAKES A TEAM
Archive training photo | July 3, 2019

When you see a rope rescue, what part of the teamwork would you like us to explain?

The firefighter on the slope may be the most visible person, but the work also involves people managing equipment, communicating and preparing to move someone safely. In this County Fire training photo, you can see several of those roles coming together around a rescue litter. This is a drill, not a current emergency.

Would you like a closer look at how the team prepares, the equipment it brings, or how members communicate? Tell us which part interests you and what you’d like to know.

Our members’ practice and teamwork deserve recognition alongside the rescues themselves. Your questions help us show more of that work.

RECENT INCIDENT | MARCH 16, 2026 | COOLEY COURT, SAN BERNARDINO

At approximately 1:55 a.m., Local 935 members responded to a reported commercial structure fire and found a large occupied warehouse charged with smoke. Crews advanced hose lines and located a small contents fire that the building’s automatic sprinkler system was holding in check.

The combination of a rapid firefighter response and a properly maintained sprinkler system limited the fire to a small area. All occupants evacuated safely, and crews used positive-pressure ventilation fans to remove smoke from the warehouse. The Office of the Fire Marshal determined the fire was accidental. No civilian or firefighter injuries were reported. Colton and Loma Linda fire departments assisted through mutual aid.

This incident demonstrates why built-in fire protection does not replace firefighters—it buys valuable time. Sprinklers control heat and fire growth while properly staffed companies complete evacuation, search for occupants, extinguish remaining fire, check for extension and make the building safe.

FIRE SAFETY: Business owners and property managers should keep sprinkler valves accessible, maintain required inspections and never obstruct sprinkler heads or fire-department access.

ASK YOUR FIREFIGHTERS | MORE THAN A BIG RED TRUCK
Archive apparatus photo | Truck 304

Notice the second cab at the back of the ladder truck?

A tiller truck looks different for a reason. Its design, equipment and the teamwork needed to operate it are a whole story of their own. Fire apparatus are not all interchangeable, and the tools our members bring depend on the work that needs to be done.

What would you like us to explain first: the rear steering position, the aerial ladder, or what is stored in those equipment compartments? Tell us what catches your eye in this photo.

Get to know the members of Local 935 and the apparatus they operate.

RECENT INCIDENT | MARCH 17, 2026 | 200 BLOCK OF NORTH G STREET, SAN BERNARDINO

Local 935 members responded at 1:24 p.m. to a commercial structure fire in a secured, abandoned former bank building. Smoke was showing from the second floor, and barred entry points created significant access and safety challenges.

Crews conducted simultaneous searches for occupants and the seat of the fire while truck companies opened the roof to improve interior conditions. When the nearest hydrant was found out of service, firefighters quickly secured an alternate water supply. The fire was contained to the room of origin and attic area, limiting damage to the remainder of the building. No civilian or firefighter injuries were reported.

The response required five engines, two trucks, a paramedic squad, command officers, investigators, a safety officer, a robotics unit and public-information support. Complex incidents demand enough trained personnel to perform search, fire attack, ventilation, water supply, command and firefighter-safety functions at the same time. Reliable hydrants, staffed apparatus and maintained infrastructure all matter.

FIRE SAFETY: Never enter a vacant or fire-damaged building. Unstable construction, hidden fire and toxic smoke can be deadly.

ASK YOUR FIREFIGHTERS | LIFE AT THE STATION
Archive station-life photo

If we gave you a behind-the-scenes look inside a fire station, which part would you want to see first?

The kitchen? The apparatus bay? The space where crews train and prepare equipment?

This photo shows one of the less dramatic jobs at the firehouse: keeping a shared workspace clean. Our members’ days include routines and responsibilities that rarely make an incident video, but they are part of living and working as a crew.

Tell us which part of station life you’re curious about, and what you’d like us to explain. Your suggestions can guide a future post.

PHOTO OF THE DAY | APRIL 4, 2026 | FONTANA

A familiar face before there is an emergency.

This photo from the County Fire archives captures firefighters sharing a moment with young community members in Fontana. It is a look back, not a current event announcement.

For a child, a fire engine may be the first thing that catches the eye. The conversation beside it is just as important. Meeting the people behind the uniform creates an opportunity to ask questions and learn that firefighters do much more than put out fires.

Public education can begin with something simple: explaining what a piece of equipment does, talking about how a crew works together, or helping a young person feel comfortable approaching a firefighter for help. Community visits and everyday interactions make room for those conversations outside the pressure of an emergency.

For Local 935, recognizing our members means highlighting these moments, too. We appreciate the firefighters who take time to connect with the communities they serve, and the families who help children learn about the people and services around them.

What did you want to know about a fire engine when you were a kid?

MUTUAL AID SPOTLIGHT | MARCH 19, 2026 | RIVERSIDE

This San Bernardino County Fire video documents Local 935 members providing mutual-aid support to Riverside Fire following a significant commercial fire. The active fire had been controlled, and the County Fire excavator was brought in to help crews complete overhaul safely and efficiently.

Specialized heavy equipment is a force multiplier at large or complex incidents. An excavator can open unstable or collapsed areas, expose deep-seated hotspots and move heavy debris without requiring firefighters to spend hours performing the same work by hand. That reduces fatigue, collapse risk and prolonged exposure to toxic smoke while helping companies finish overhaul and return to service sooner.

California’s mutual-aid system allows communities to share trained personnel and specialty resources when an incident exceeds one agency’s capabilities. Maintaining trained operators, dependable specialty apparatus and sustainable staffing is an investment in regional readiness and firefighter safety.
