Mills Avenue while battling a blaze The fire began at 5 p.m. at a home in the 3300 block on Tuesday. of Mills Avenue. LACFD Captain Mark Griffen said it took firefighters about 10 to 15 minutes to put out the blaze. The blaze ignited the exterior of the home and went on to burn the interior. The fire damaged the garage, kitchen, living room, an outdoor shed and a Dodge van parked outside. Heavy smoke also caused damage to the rest of the home. “It was an accidental fire,” LACFD Captain George Verkamp said. He declined to provide further details on what caused the fire. Ryan Felter, 18, was the only one at home at the time. He was in the shower when he heard someone pounding on the front door and the smoke detector going off. “The fire started on the south side of the house and I just saw smoke billowing out everywhere,” Mr. Felter said. “I stayed down low to avoid the smoke and ran out the back of the house.” Fresh out of the shower and wearing only a towel, Mr. Felter borrowed some clothes from a passerby once outside. “I wanted to try to put out the flames but there was so much smoke,” he said. Friend Corey Hargrave, 18, was driving by as the fire erupted. He first dialed 911 to report the fire and then tried to call his friend. “Some of us tried to grab a garden hose, but by the time we got started the Fire Department arrived,” Mr. Hargrave said. He estimated it took firefighters less than 3 minutes to arrive at the scene. Martin McLeod was also driving by on his way to the Wilderness Park when he saw billowing smoke. He helped spray water from a garden hose on the home and offered some clothing to Mr. Felter. “It’s amazing how fast a fire like that can spread,” Mr. McLeod observed. Cpt. Verkamp stressed the importance of having smoke detectors in the home that function properly. “The smoke detector may have saved the boy’s life,” Cpt. Verkamp said. “He heard it go off and ran out of there in time.” —Tony Krickl

After 3 years of serving in principal and assistant principal roles in the Chino Valley Unified School Dis- trict, Ms. Garrett has come back to the place where she has spent 14 of her 17 years in education. “My kids went through Claremont schools and that’s why I came back,” she said. “My kids grew up here and this is the community I wanted to give back to.” During her first stint in CUSD, Ms. Garrett served as an elementary school teacher at Chaparral and Vista del Valle Elementary Schools. After 14 years in the class- room, she was ready to move into administration. Ms. Garrett was assistant principal at Chaparral Ele- mentary School in Chino Hills before being promoted to principal of Anna Borba Elementary School. During a time when Chino Valley Unified School District ex- perienced a financial crisis in 2009, her first principal position was met with multiple challenges. “They closed down 3 schools at that time and Anna Borba [Elementary School] was relocated to one of the vacant campuses,” Ms. Garrett recalled. “So I had to clear out one campus and get another campus prepared within a month’s time before school started.” Born in Colombia, Ms. Garrett came to the United States only speaking Spanish when she started school.
