California Wildfire Sweeps Over I-15 Freeway

 

A giant wildfire spread through Southern California’s Cajon Pass, burning 20 cars and sending motorists running to safety, in what the San Bernardino County Fire Department called a “multi-casualty incident.” But the firefighters also issued a report that due to a drone seen flying in the area, they couldn’t get their helicopters to the scene right away. Officials told NBC LA that five drones were in the air and “definitely” delayed the firefighters’ response. Two drones actually gave chase to air units, and the incident delayed response by about 15 to 20 minutes, according to Battalion Chief Marc Peebles of San Bernardino County Fire Department. When asked if the delay contributed to the fire jumping the 15 Freeway, Peebles said “It definitely contributed to it.”
