Vegetation Fire Burns Nearly Five Acres in South Redlands

A vegetation fire burned 4.9 acres of brush in south Redlands Monday morning, June 29. Efforts by the Redlands Fire Department and resources including fixed wing aircraft and a helicopter, dozers and hand crews from CalFire, San Bernardino County Fire Department and the U.S. Forestry Service quickly contained the blaze which was first reported at about 10:40 a.m. in a brushy ravine below the 200 block of Edgemont Drive. No structures were damaged. One firefighter suffered a minor burn to his chest from a hot ember. The fire was contained shortly before 12:30 p.m. The cause of the fire was determined to be a spark caused when a piece of equipment performing weed abatement in the ravine struck a rock. The equipment operator attempted to put out the fire with a fire extinguisher and a shovel, before firefighters arrived.
