San Bernardino County Fire is using cloud-based videogrammetry to improve situational awareness, support tactical planning, and enhance firefighter safety during emergency operations. The @SkyeBrowse platform converts drone footage into measurable three-dimensional (3D) models and high-resolution, top-down orthomosaic maps. These visual tools give firefighters and incident commanders a detailed view of scenes, structures, and surrounding hazards to support informed decision making. Applications include fire scene documentation, pre-incident planning, tactical operations, disaster response, hazardous materials incidents, interior mapping, and firefighter training. By providing detailed scene information before and during operations, the platform helps personnel evaluate hazards, understand building layouts, and develop response strategies. Remote scene assessment can also reduce the need to place firefighters in dangerous environments solely to gather information. This capability supports San Bernardino County Fire’s ongoing commitment to improving operational effectiveness and reducing risk to personnel. By incorporating aerial data and 3D mapping into emergency response, the department is strengthening its ability to prepare for and manage complex incidents.

Edgehill (Update): Forward rate of spread has been stopped with hoselines tied in. Structure threat has been mitigated.

With high winds expected to further strengthen overnight into tomorrow, San Bernardino County has staffed and pre-positioned a @Cal_OES Strike Team and an additional County Fire handcrew for augmented response to incidents. These assets will remain available through the duration of the event.

At 7:15 this morning, San Bernardino County Fire responded to an unknown fire in the 14100 block of Slover Avenue in the city of Fontana. While enroute, the first engine company noted a well-developed column of black smoke and balanced the response to a commercial fire assignment. Firefighters arrived at an outdoor recycling facility to find a large heap of scrap metal vigorously burning. The pile measured approximately 200 feet long, 100 feet wide and 20-30 feet high. Developing Santa Ana winds were gusting to 20mph at the scene and pushing the heat and smoke into adjacent commercial properties. With all employees confirmed out of harm’s way, firefighters instituted a defensive attack on the pile utilizing a combination of hose lines on the ground and elevated master streams from truck companies. As the fire threatened to extend to a trucking yard to the south, additional firefighters were assigned to exposure protection and patrolled the community to the south for any signs of fire extension. The incident was ultimately balanced to a third alarm response bringing 15 engines, three truck companies, two medic squads, one heavy equipment team, six chief officers and several overhead for a total of 78 personnel. County Fire received assistance from Ontario Fire Department and Rancho Cucamonga Fire District. The fire was declared under control at 12:35 PM and was successfully contained to the original property. No injuries were reported to civilians or firefighters. No evacuations were placed. Slover Avenue was closed between Banana Ave and Almond Ave to support operations. Damage estimates are still being compiled, and the cause remains under investigation through County Fire’s Office of the Fire Marshal.
