New Cal Fire maps show increased wildfire risk in Redlands; Fire Department says it was ready
New Cal Fire map shows increased risk in North Redlands and critical infrastructure sites, but officials say proactive work has been underway for years.
REDLANDS, Calif. — No arrests were made, and two drivers were cited during a DUI checkpoint conducted by the Redlands Police Department on Friday, Dec. 13.
The checkpoint, held on Brookside Avenue west of Eureka Street, screened 420 vehicles between 6 p.m. Friday and 1 a.m. Saturday. Officers issued citations to two drivers for operating a vehicle without a valid driver’s license, the city's public information officer, Carl Baker, said in a news release Tuesday.
DUI checkpoints are strategically located based on data about impaired driving-related crashes. Their primary goal is to enhance public safety by removing suspected impaired drivers from the roads.
Funding for the checkpoint was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
