San Bernardino International Airport has been home to the San Bernardino National Forest Airtanker Base for the past 28 years.

Hotshots are elite firefighters trained to fight wildland fires and respond to other emergencies nationwide.

To obtain daily San Bernardino National Forest PAL Levels, call (909)-382-2997.

The San Bernardino National Forest fire prevention program is available to participate in local events looking to help spread wildfire awareness and education. The program has the ability to provide Smokey Bear along with fire patrol personnel within and adjacent to the forest and can also set up a staffed fire information booth. We also have a fully operational 1924 Model T Fire Patrol vehicle that can be set up as a static display or take part in parades.

The Forest Service combines funding, traditional knowledge, scientific research, and planning into a national effort to help reduce wildfire risk. Four National Forests—the Angeles, Cleveland, Los Padres, and San Bernardino, make up Southern California.
