PHOTOS: Firefighters battled a massive six-alarm blaze that investigators believe was intentionally set in San Bernardino County early Tuesday morning.

Multiple agencies responded around 12:30 a.m. to a fire reported at the approximately one-million-square-foot Kimberly-Clark warehouse near South Hellman Avenue and Merrill Avenue in Ontario.

Video from the scene showed flames ripping through the roof of the warehouse as first-arriving crews immediately called for a second-alarm response to bring in more firefighting resources.

The fire, fueled by paper products stored inside the facility, eventually escalated to a six-alarm incident. Units from several neighboring departments assisted the Ontario Fire Department, according to San Bernardino County Fire officials.

As of 5 a.m., firefighters had shifted to a defensive strategy, pouring water on the hours-long blaze from ladder trucks positioned around the warehouse.

VIDEO: Some New Hampshire firefighters have started the first phase of a new medical screening program that aims to catch cancer before it becomes deadly.

Officials said they believe the state’s comprehensive approach will set a new nationwide standard. “Firefighters are conditioned to take care of everyone else first,” said retired Nashua Fire Chief Glenn Telgen. “These exams are about ensuring we also take care of our own.”

Telgen is battling pancreatic cancer. He’s urging his fellow career firefighters to participate in a new, state-funded comprehensive cancer screening program that launched Monday. Gov. Kelly Ayotte and fire service leaders from across the state gathered Monday to announce that the first firefighters started receiving their cancer screenings under the new program that morning.

Lawmakers passed a $5 million appropriation in 2024 to fund the initiative, which runs firefighters through a battery of tests, including CT scans, full-body ultrasounds and extensive blood work.

“It’s historic, because it’s the first state or province in our international union across two great countries to do something with CT scans, the diagnostic ultrasounds and the blood tests, that trifecta … is going to save lives,” said Jay Colbert, IAFF district 3 vice president.
