San
Bernardino County Fire Crews
Dispatched Monday Morning
to Commercial Fire
June 6, 2022, Monday morning, San Bernardino County Fire Crews
were dispatched to a reported commercial fire in the area of South Waterman and
East Mill Street in San Bernardino. Multiple 9-1-1 callers stated
smoke and fire was coming from a building.
SBCoFD Firefighters quickly arrived on-scene to find
heavy smoke and fire showing from the medium sized, single story commercial
occupancy. The Fire Crews initiated a transitional fire attack, working to
knock back the fire. Despite the Firefighters best efforts, the fire continued
to grow.
SBCoFD Crews worked from a defensive posture
utilizing large volumes of water to suppress the fire and keep the fire from
spreading to adjacent buildings. Ultimately the fire was knocked down in 60
minutes.
The building, vacant at the time of the fire was heavily
damaged. A SBCoFD Fire Investigator was requested to complete a cause
& origin investigation. The fire remains under investigation.
*San Bernardino County Fire responded with five
Engines, two Trucks, a Battalion Chief and a Fire Investigator.
