VIDEO: Late Monday night, San Bernardino County firefighters battled a house fire in Blue Jay that also threatened the surrounding woodland. The blaze, which consumed a two-story home in the 27000 block of Highway 189, was reported by 911 callers who saw both the house and surrounding trees engulfed in flames.
Upon arriving at the scene, fire personnel found the home "well involved in fire" with a risk to adjacent vegetation. The intensity of the blaze forced the firefighters to adopt a defensive strategy, attacking the fire while also seeking to shield nearby areas. According to San Bernardino County Fire's official Facebook page, one person was found outside the building with minor burns, received treatment from an ambulance on the scene, and was transported to a local hospital.
