No one was injured when a mobile home caught fire in Joshua Tree Wednesday morning. County Fire Battalion Chief Mike McClintock said crews from Joshua Tree, Yucca Valley, and Yucca Mesa were called to the 6100 block of Valley View about 10:15 a.m. where they found smoke showing from a double-wide mobile home. Firefighters found a room and its contents on fire, with flames extending into the attic space above. The blaze was knocked down in about 15 minutes. McClintock said the home was under renovation at the time of the fire, and the cause appears to be accidental.

San Bernardino County firefighters responded shortly after 9:30 a.m. to a structure fire in the 16200 block of Orange Street.
The first engine arrived within five minutes and found smoke coming from a “detached, single car garage,” authorities said.
While extinguishing the fire, bystanders told firefighters that people might be inside the garage.
“Crews made entry and quickly located two victims and rescued them from the structure,” County Fire Battalion Chief Mike McClintock said. “Arriving crews assisted with patient care and fire attack, knocking the fire down in 10 minutes.”

The fire was knocked down in approximately 20 minutes and fire crews did not find anyone in the home. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
