Two fatal weekend accidents in Glamis

I was at Glamis that weekend and there were no fatalities to my knowledge. I spoke to Rusty Massie, volunteer EMT at Glamis, and he said it had been very quiet. Is not Heber Road at or near Heber Dunes. Is Glamis being used as a generalization for all the dunes?
