We have more information regarding a house fire in Yucca Valley early Thursday morning. According to Battalion Chief Michael McClintock, fire crews were dispatched around 4:30 a.m. to the 57400 block of Buena Suerte in the Western Hills neighborhood of Yucca Valley. Arriving crews found the three story home under construction well involved with flames. Crews also encountered downed power lines, a burning power pole, an RV, and multiple burning vehicles.
Crews concentrated efforts on protecting nearby homes and vegetation, knocking down the fire in approximately one hour. Bystanders reported hearing a cry for help from the home, but no occupants were on scene when fire crews arrived.
