Every year in the U.S., more than 300,000 people have an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and about 60-80% of them die before reaching the hospital. If someone collapses, CPR and AED training could mean the difference between life and death.

The Sandy Fire is now 90% contained with 107 firefighters remaining assigned to the incident. Please see the attached map.

The suppression cycle continues as firefighters utilize infrared drones during nighttime operations to identify remaining hotspots. During the day, firefighters hike into rugged terrain to locate and fully extinguish those hotspots.

For your safety and firefighter safety, please use caution while recreating in the area, especially on dirt roads where fire personnel and equipment continue to operate.

The unofficial start of summer ─ Memorial Day weekend ─ is here, and many people are looking forward to lighting up a grill.

But did you know that grilling sparks more than 10,000 home fires on average each year? To avoid this, follow these safety tips:

- Always supervise a barbecue grill when in use. Don’t add charcoal starter fluid when coals have already been ignited.
- Never grill indoors. Keep it out in the open and away from any buildings, tree branches, or anything that could catch fire.
- Make sure small children and pets stay away from the grill.
- Use the long-handled tools made for cooking on the grill to help keep the chef safe.
