The Exceptional Service Award recognizes San Bernardino County Fire Protection District employees who have gone above and beyond in their commitment to saving lives, protecting property, and serving the community.

Congratulations to this year’s honoree:
Cody Parker, Firefighter / Paramedic

Cody was the first to the window at a Hesperia structure fire where a person was reported trapped. He and his captain made a rapid rescue without a charged hose line, saving critical time, and the rescue was complete within two to three minutes. Colleagues also describe him as a great mentor to a probationary firefighter and someone who is always eager to train.

Last night crews responded to a pickup truck that overturned and came to rest 2 feet from the edge of a 200 cliff. The nighttime conditions made access to the patient difficult and locating the vehicle took some time.

Luckily the occupant and his dog were not injured.
We would like to thank San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department Aviation and San Manuel Fire Department for their assistance.

The Legacy Award is a tribute to those whose service to the Fire District does not end at retirement. It recognizes an individual who continues to give back through voluntary service and support that strengthens the District’s operations, training, outreach, and strategic initiatives.

Congratulations to this year’s honoree:
Sid Hultquist, Retired Division Chief

After retiring, Chief Hultquist returned at the Fire District’s request following the devastating Line Fire and Bridge Fire and organized a comprehensive after-action review of the response. His local knowledge and experience produced a review the Fire District will study for years to come. Colleagues also credit him with mentoring chiefs and teaching the Fire District to think bigger as it grew.

Just after 6 o’clock this morning, San Bernardino County Fire responded to a commercial structure fire in the 400 block of S. San Felipe Road in the city of San Bernardino.

Units arrived to find a fully involved butler building to the rear of a property. The building was being utilized as a non-commercial auto body shop. Numerous vehicles were stored on the property and immediately threatened by the fire.

Firefighters instituted a defensive attack with the goal of confining the fire to the original structure. Numerous compressed gas cylinders containing oxygen, acetylene, and propane were inside the structure and detonating during the fire attack.

The fire was brought under control in approximately 40 minutes. Five engines, two truck companies, and two chief officers were assigned to the incident.

No injuries were reported to civilians or firefighters. Damage estimates are still being compiled however, the building is a complete loss. Dozens of vehicles stored on the property were saved by firefighters.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation through County Fire’s Office of the Fire Marshal. Paragraph.

Multi-Agency Fire Training Strengthens Regional Response and Firefighter Readiness

This week, fire agencies from throughout San Bernardino County participated in a high-rise fire incident drill. The drill was coordinated by the San Bernardino County Training Officers Association and conducted at the Rancho Cucamonga Fire Training Facility. The training provided firefighters with an opportunity to sharpen their skills, strengthen interagency coordination, and prepare for the challenge of complex incidents.

The training featured live-fire scenarios and realistic smoke conditions, creating an immersive environment designed to replicate the challenges firefighters encounter in an actual high-rise fire.

Realistic, hands-on training is essential to maintaining operational readiness. By exposing firefighters to challenging conditions in a controlled environment, agencies can reinforce fundamental skills, evaluate tactics, and continually improve their ability to protect the communities they serve.

Over Halloween weekend, San Bernardino County Fire deployed emergency response personnel and resources in partnership with the Bureau of Land Management - California Desert Division to the Dumont Dunes Off-Highway Vehicle Recreation Area.

Located approximately 40 miles north of Baker, California, Dumont Dunes encompasses 7,620 acres of public land in the Mojave Desert and attracts thousands of off-highway vehicle (OHV) enthusiasts each year. Halloween weekend traditionally marks the kickoff to the OHV recreation season and involves camping and a variety of off-highway vehicle endeavors.

To support the increased number of visitors, County Fire pre-positioned personnel and emergency response apparatus at Dumont Dunes throughout the two-day event. Resources included:

• 1 Battalion Chief
• 1 Fire Captain
• 1 Fire Engineer
• 3 Paramedics
• 2 Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs)
• 2 Ambulances
• 2 All-Terrain Rescue Vehicles (ARVs)

With attendance this weekend estimated at over 30,000, County Fire personnel responded to numerous off-highway vehicle incidents and medical emergencies, providing fire protection, emergency medical care, and rescue services in this remote desert environment. By strategically positioning resources at the dunes, crews were able to provide timely emergency response to visitors enjoying the recreational area.

This deployment was funded in part through a California State Parks Off-Highway Motor Vehicle Recreation (OHMVR) Division grant awarded to the San Bernardino County Fire Protection District.

The Halloween deployment highlights County Fire's continued commitment to public safety and the importance of strong interagency partnerships including those with the Bureau of Land Management and California State Parks.
