Our heartfelt condolences go out to Fire Engineer Robert Myers' loved ones and the entire San Bernardino County Fire during this difficult time.

The San Bernardino County Fire Protection District is saddened to announce this morning’s passing of active-duty Fire Engineer Robert “BJ” Myers. BJ passed away peacefully with family, friends, his service dog “Scout”, and County Fire members by his side.

He served with honor, professionalism, and courage. He was a valued member of our Community Outreach and Support Team (C.O.A.S.T.), and a true public servant who demonstrated compassion and commitment to the community.

We extend our deepest condolences and prayers to his children, family, friends, and colleagues of Engineer Myers.

Funeral details will be shared once arrangements are finalized.

Meet Christina Cintron, Chief of Member Services at SBCERA.

Christina’s journey has always been rooted in service, family, and determination. Leading SBCERA’s largest department, she’s built a career centered around helping others and making a meaningful impact in the lives of members every single day.

After joining SBCERA in 2014 as a Senior Accountant, Christina quickly recognized the importance of the work behind every pension payment and every member interaction. “I wasn’t going to let anybody down. And I especially wasn’t going to let the members down who were relying on this monthly benefit payment.”

Now, as Chief of Member Services, Christina leads a team that supports members through every stage of their careers—from the first day of employment through retirement and beyond. Whether answering questions, helping members navigate retirement, or providing trusted support during important life moments, Christina and her team are committed to delivering exceptional service with care and compassion.

"I feel like this journey I’ve been on my whole life is to serve the people that serve the communities that we live in,” she said.
