Folks came out in droves for National Night Out, held on Aug. 3 at the Twin Peaks Sheriff’s Station.

This 1924 US Forestry Fire Patrol Model T was found abandoned in Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington in the early 2000s. It is now housed in California and used for education and community outreach.

San Bernardino County Fire added three Prowlers to their fleet in 2020. The Prowlers are used for back country rescues, especially in areas of thick tree coverage where air lifts are not accessible.
