Early this morning, firefighters from the San Bernardino City Fire Department responded to a report of a structure fire. Arriving units found flames coming from the rear of a house. Smoke could be seen covering the neighborhood homes as fire department units arrived. The home was vacant and secured with a “For Rent” sign in the front yard. Fire units quickly extinguished the fire that was possibly started by a trash-can burning next to the structure and below a patio cover. The fire spread into the attic of the home. While firefighters worked to extinguish the flames a second report came from a neighbor that there was smoke in her home. The quick action from the units on-scene kept the damage to the second home minimal. Another smaller trash can was found burning next to the woman’s rear wood garage door. Both fires are under investigation and were very similar in how they were started.
