A fire at a single-family home on Saturday night in Joshua Tree displaced three people, killed two goats and injured multiple animals, according to the San Bernardino County Fire department.
At around 10:10PM on Saturday (10/22) residents reported sparks and smoke from the attic of a home in the 62200 block of Hacienda Drive in Joshua Tree.
San Bernardino County Fire crews were quickly dispatched to the residence which was well-involved upon their arrival. Extreme wind conditions – with gusts between 20 and 40 MPH – quickly pushed the fire through the home and threatened multiple surrounding outbuildings, vehicles and vegetation.
