SBCO Fire - Commercial Structure - Landers - 8-28-10

On Saturday afternoon the San Bernardino County Fire Department responded to a reported Commercial Structure fire in the community of Landers. The fire was located in the 58000 block of Reche Rd. BE19 was the first unit on scene and upon arrival I had a 30' X 75' single story cabinet shop totally involved. In addition the the shop there were also 3 out buildings, 1 trailer and several joshua trees burning. We also had a burn victim and live power lines down to the rear of the fire. BE19 went into the attack mode and Firefighters Samantha Harper and William Youngberg used a handline to contain the fire and keep it from spreading to adjacent structures and the wildland. Units from Yucca Mesa, Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree and 29 Palms arrived to assist. Due to poor availability of water it took 45 mins to control the fire.

Mojave Preserve Lightning - 8-26-10

Thursday night Mike Meadows, Gene Blevins and I were out in the Mojave Preserve trying to catch some lightning. Very large and wide spread storms moving quickly across the desert provided quite a challenge for us. I did manage to get a couple shots. More photos can be seen here in the gallery section of FireWXPhoto.com.
