A fire in a Twentynine Palms home spread to a nearby home on Saturday night (May 13,) and both homes suffered from major damage.
At approximatley 9 p.m., San Bernardino County fire responded to a report of a structure fire in the 5900 block of Morongo Rd in Twentynine Palms. Upon arrival, crews discovered that the well involved fire at a single family house had spread to an adjacent home.
County fire crews, with assistance from Combat Center Fire, attacked both fires simultaneously. The fire from the first house was too intense too attack from the inside, so crews knocked most of it down from the outside. Crews were able to enter the second home, but the damage was major and most of the furnishings were destroyed by the time they arrived. The fires were under control by 10 p.m.
Both houses were lived in occupancies, but searches by fire crews found no one inside, and there was no loss-of life or injuries to either residents or fire personnel.
The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by San Bernardino County Fire.
