Yesterday morning (8:42) San Bernardino County Fire crews were dispatched to a reported “Truck Fire” near the intersection of Sullivan & Que Pas in Twentynine Palms. Responding crews were updated the fire was involving a travel trailer. Crews from Joshua Tree & 29 Palms arrived to find one trailer well involved with multiple exposures adjacent to the fire.
Firefighters made an aggressive fire attack, working to limit the spread to other trailers & vegetation nearby. Despite high desert winds, crews were able to knock down the fire in about 10 minutes, and kept the fire from spreading.
One male resident was displaced by the fire and was referred to the Red Cross for assistance. The fires cause was determined to be a space heater sitting too close to combustibles. We’ll have photos of the early morning fire at this story online.
