Two CHP officers were engulfed in flames when a vehicle exploded on I-215 in Riverside Sunday afternoon. Both officers suffered minor to moderate injuries and were taken to a hospital. The driver was arrested on suspicion of DUI, according to CHP.
LASD Special Enforcement Bureau (SEB) Captain Royster and SEB Dive Team Deputy Twedt met with the media today to provide an inside look at SEB's Dive Team's role in the October 1, 2026, Catalina helicopter recovery operation. Deputy Twedt discussed the challenging underwater recovery, the specialized training, equipment, and preparation required to conduct deep-water search and recovery operations.
The SEB Dive Team trains extensively and is equipped to navigate some of the most challenging conditions.
Through the dedication, expertise, and collaboration of LASD and our partnering agencies, the remaining missing victim was successfully recovered on October 1, 2026.
We extend our sincere appreciation to every agency, team, and professional who contributed their time, resources, and expertise throughout this operation. This recovery was a true example of agencies working together with a shared commitment to bringing closure to those affected.
In celebration of the Sheriffโs Rodeo, San Bernardino County Sheriffโs Department personnel will have the option to wear department-approved cowboy hats from September 12, 2026 through October 2, 2026.
The cowboy hat is a nod to our departmentโs Western heritage and the traditions that have long been part of San Bernardino County, while continuing to uphold the professional standards of our department.
Yesterday afternoon, San Bernardino County Fire responded to a residential structure fire at a large single-family home on the 2000 block of North Tapia Way in the City of Upland.
Upon arrival, firefighters were faced with significant hazards. The residence had security bars covering the windows, creating additional challenges for crews operating inside the structure. The second floor also featured a cantilevered section that raised serious concerns about the stability of that area with fire affecting it. As conditions continued to deteriorate, the Safety Officer ordered all personnel out of the structure. Approximately five minutes later, the home suffered a catastrophic structural failure, literally breaking in half. Crews then quickly transitioned to a defensive firefighting operation.
Once the bulk of the fire had been knocked down, crews conducted extensive overhaul operations. A County Fire Excavator was brought in to assist firefighters in accessing hidden fires, removing debris, and ensuring the fire was fully extinguished. Crews remained on scene late into the evening.
The cause of the fire is being investigated by the Office of the Fire Marshal.
Three civilians received minor injuries and were transported to a local hospital. No firefighter injuries were reported.
We would like to thank @RCFD_PIO for their assistance.

Say hello to the Coyote Huey of
HMLA-775 a perfect match with their Viper. The Coyote is riding on a newer APKWS (advanced precision kill) rocket they use. The coyote and guns on the doors pay tribute the awesome door gunners and crew chiefs that ride in the back and rain hell on the bad guys.
They also wanted the splatted coyote on the nose ๐ poor guy.
Again I made all the templates at home. Dave Nenna @s3_Viking_nto did an awesome job on the door coyotes and markings and I focused on the engines. We both did the blue and black.
It's great to have an assistant that knows this job and makes it go way faster,, and more fun!
Again we donate our time to do this for our troops!! Semper Fi! ๐ฉต๐ฆ๐ฉต๐ฆ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ
Iโve been coming to Joshua Tree for 20 years, hoping to get a site of the rare bighorn sheep. There are only about 100 to 200 of these Rams in the entire park over 11,000 square miles. Today was our lucky day! @RamsNFL

Federal Bureau of Investigation VIP/special teams transport N874TW as JENA1 has just landed in Redding, CA where local authorities have been handling a hostage situation for the last several hours. This trip is likely bringing the FBI's Hostage Rescue Team to resolve the situation.
Yesterday and into the early morning hours of today, the FBI responded to a hostage situation in Shasta-Trinity National Forest in Redding, CA โ where two individuals took two U.S. Forest Service biologists as hostages.
FBI Sacramento, including our Crisis Negotiators, SWAT Team, and Evidence Response Team all arrived on scene, including a tactical deployment of our Hostage Rescue Team from Quantico. After nearly 10 hours of negotiations, the hostages were safely released โ and subjects Joseph Henrichsen and Phoenix Henrichsen surrendered and were immediately taken into custody.
I am proud of the immediate and professional work of these elite FBI teams to assist our partners for a safe and successful resolution.
