ADELANTO: (VVNG) – San Bernardino County Fire Department responded to a fire burning at a four-plex located on the 18200 block of Cherimoya Road cross of Lee Avenue in Adelanto.

Dispatch received numerous calls reporting the fire at approximately 1:45 p.m. on Saturday. Although at this time the exact cause of the fire is currently unknown, a 7-year-old who resides in the four-plex is suspected of accidentally starting the fire.

All residents managed to exit the apartments and no injuries have been reported.

Per scanner traffic a, second-alarm fire was called but later cancelled. Firefighters had the fire put out by 2:30 p.m. Southern California Edison is en route to shut off the power to the units and allow firefighters to “mop-up” the fire.

A total of 8 adults and 10 kids have been displaced from their residences and will require assistance from the American Red Cross to find temporary shelter.
