BLOOMINGTON, Calif. (KABC) Strong winds made conditions difficult for firefighters battling a blaze that damaged at least three structures in the Bloomington area of San Bernardino County.
Firefighters said the blaze initially started around 12:30 a.m. as a bush on fire and quickly spread as winds fanned flames. When fire crews arrived, strong winds blew embers across the neighborhood, which created several spot fires.
Two homes located in a compound surrounded by vegetation were damaged and one home was destroyed in the fire, according to fire officials. It is unclear if the homes were unoccupied at the time. No injuries were reported.

HOUSTON – Whether it’s old or new, construction is consistent throughout Texas.
For years, the state has been one of the fastest-growing areas in the nation. The population growth has been the driving force behind $37.9 billion of new construction poured into the single-family market in 2020, according to the Texas Real Estate Research Center at Texas A&M University.
Now there are even more dollars being poured into the rebuilding sector after last week’s historic freeze.
James Howard, an independent and public insurance adjuster, said he believes better construction would have resulted in a vast number of claims that “would not have happened.”
