Not a great day to burn today...and tomorrow isn't looking good either. Elevated fire weather conditions will develop this afternoon due to those gusty winds and relative humidity dropping below 30%. Similar conditions expected tomorrow.

This is happening tonight. Pro tip: Do your best not to get arrested early this evening because from 6 to 6:30 you won't be able to call someone to bail you out.
P.S. Also try not to get arrested every day by following the law. Follow us for more tips.

We’re so sad to share that K9 Sammy, who just retired in October, passed away this weekend. She was a very good girl - deploying more than 700 times in her career - and is very missed by her partner, now-retired Deputy Allen. His family created this video tribute to Sammy.
