Sid Hultquist of the San Bernardino County Fire Department reported firefighters took a defensive approach to the fire. They allowed the abandoned eightplex to burn, and concentrated on preventing the fire from spreading.
Initial firefighters on the scene discovered exploding ammunition left from previous Army trainings. Firefighters were also hampered by the lack of water on the base housing, which does not have water.
A thick black column of smoke emanating from former George Air Force Base could be seen from Interstate 15.
