Yucca Valley firefighters put out the smoldering fire. County Fire Battalion Chief Mike Snow said a group of juveniles hang out in the area while waiting for their school bus in the morning. Damage to the building in the 56600 block of Little League Drive was confined to smoke damage. Anyone with information should call the Sheriff’s Department at 760-366-4175.
