Medic Truck 161 arrived in 5 minutes to find light smoke showing from the attic vents of a single story residential structure. Firefighters made access to the rear of the home and found smoke and fire showing from a bathroom. Crews initiated an interior attack with support of truck crews from the roof above.

The two small Yorkies were checked and appeared to be doing well when they were returned to their owners. Firefighters had the fire under control in approximately 15 minutes. Fire spread and damage was limited to the rear portion of the home in the bathroom area. One truck company, four engines, one chief officer, and one investigator for a total of 17 personnel responded to the incident. No damage estimates were available at the time of release; the cause remains under investigation. The San Bernardino County Fire Department encourages residents to have an escape plan in place in the event of a house fire. Review the plan regularly with all occupants of the home.
