Investigation of possible campfire glow near private residence, Rancho Cucamonga CA


Fire personnel investigated a report of a possible fire glow near a private residence in the Enright Ranch area near Banyan Street. No visible flames were found, but there was a smell of campfire. Access to the area was difficult due to private gates. A drone was used to help locate the exact spot. The responding engines were canceled after the fire was believed to be contained or just a fire pit.

00:14
Go ahead.
00:18
And what do you think about being putting the drone up?
00:23
Yeah, if you're in a good spot and you want to launch you, it looks like a small glow just north of our location, I'm going to try to make my way up there, try to get a better visual.
00:31
But if you want to get that thing up...
00:38
Yeah, 176, are you on BDC v15?
00:46
2122 from Medicines, 176 on BDC V15.
00:52
Go ahead.
00:54
Okay, we went ahead and made access off a Collin Barrow.
00:58
Looks like it's going to be up in the Enright Ranch area.
01:02
Don't have visual from where we are, but we're going to have to try to make access through this private gate right here.
01:11
Okay, you got a 3559 pulling up.
01:14
You want them just to hang tight where they're at or you want their assistance up there? I'm good with them hanging tight right now.
01:20
It smells like a campfire.
01:23
We're just having access problems right now getting into this private residence.
01:28
I copy you a break.
01:30
3559. Are you guys up on VETB15?
01:35
Yeah,
01:43
if you guys want to stage at the top of Wordman Bullock, 176 is up investigating up off Colum Barrow, it sounds like a possible fire pit contained.
01:52
We'll wait until they get confirmation.
01:55
Yeah, I copy that.
01:56
Thank you.
02:02
Engine 334, you guys up on VHFTAC.
02:05
We're just investigating right now, possible outdoor fire contained.
02:14
Let's keep you guys coming, code two, and then just staged in the area of Warpman Bullock just north of Wilson.
02:22
Go ahead.
02:26
Smell's dissipated, we can't see anything, we're not able to make access through the gate, but we did see a white, what looks like Chevy Tahoe, but this lights off driving on the drive towards your location.
02:38
Unless we can go back down and see if we can get over to the east just a little bit further, without being able to make access on the private property, I don't see how we're going to get up in that in general area.
02:53
Okay, if you don't see anything, we can request sheriff.
02:57
Somebody cancel 334 and 3559.
03:06
You guys copy 3559 and 3334, you guys can cancel.
03:24
2122 from 176.
03:26
We're going to go ahead and head south and just see if we can get eyes from the top of San Savan, which is over to the east, just a little bit further.
03:33
I copy you cancel the Cal Fire and said response.
03:38
Yeah, that's firm.
03:40
I've got an investigator 2150 with the drone up as well, if you want to help guide them in, if you have a visual on it.
03:47
Yeah, I know we were over to the west just a little bit further, but it looked like it was just going to be east of this ranch up here and the water tower just in the hills.
03:57
It's going to be hard to kind of pinpoint location from being so much further south and west earlier.
04:09
on the UAS and help the investigator kind of pinpoint the area you need them to look at.
04:20
We're going to reference off of your lights right now.
04:26
I copy.
04:40
34, go ahead.
04:43
San Bernardino, he's just 334.
04:45
We've been canceled by battalion 21-22 com center.
04:52
Sam Bernardino copies, I'll show you canceled and returning.
05:01
2150-176 on BDCV-15V-15.
05:09
Go ahead.
05:15
I know location right now.
05:18
If you can see us with the drone, we're at the entrance of the private residence right here.
05:24
If you follow that street directly up, there should be multiple houses on this like little compound just east of the water tower.
05:31
That's where we saw the flames, or at least will look like a glow of a campfire effect.
05:37
It helps pinpoint your location a little bit better.
05:49
Okay, so from your unit, is it going to be northeast up along that road?
05:55
That's affirmative.
05:57
Northeast, it looks like on my map it's shown Banyan Street, which takes you up into the residence.
06:04
It's just going to be northeast of that.
