LOMA LINDA>> On Sept. 7 at approximately 2 a.m., deputies and fire personnel responded to a debris fire behind businesses at Redlands Blvd. and Anderson Street in the City of Loma Linda.
Fire personnel quickly extinguished the fire and there were no witnesses at the location. During regular business hours, a business owner contacted law enforcement regarding video surveillance footage of the fire.
