A small vegetation fire broke out behind an apartment building after what witnesses described as “explosions.”
On Thursday (April 24), San Bernardino County Fire Crews responded to what they described as a vegetation fire behind an apartment building in the 56800 block of Antelope Traill in Yucca Valley.
County Fire crews, with assistance from Cal Fire arrived on the scene to find vegetation burning approximately one acre, and they said that it had the potential to spread to up to four acres.
County Fire said the fire was extinguished relatively quickly and with no injury to civilians or fire crews, and there was minor damage to the building’s eaves and patio covering.
A witness told Z107.7 that they heard “five consecutive explosions” behind the apartment complex.
County Fire officials said that the cause of the fire is under investigation.
