Jellylorum.. Independence must have been a great place to grow up in. When I lived in Mammoth, I used to go to there for some sun and warmer temps during the Winter. Great town!

@CALFIREBDU:
STRUCTURE FIRE | YUCAIPA, CA

October 21, 2026 | #VistaIncident

At approximately 6:35 a.m., CAL FIRE/Yucaipa Fire Department firefighters, alongside Calimesa Fire Department personnel, responded to a residential structure fire in the 13000 block of Second Street in the City of Yucaipa.

Upon arrival, firefighters encountered smoke coming from a single-family mobile home. During firefighting operations, crews located 10 unresponsive cats inside the residence.

Firefighters immediately initiated lifesaving measures, including rescue breathing, in an effort to revive the animals. Despite their efforts, nine cats perished. One cat was successfully resuscitated and transported to a veterinary hospital for further treatment.

No civilian or firefighter injuries have been reported.

While the loss of these animals is heartbreaking, this incident highlights the compassion and dedication of our firefighters, whose commitment to protecting lives extends to the animals that are part of our families.
