1. “Earlier this month, CAL FIRE led a multi-agency fireworks seizure operation across several days at the California Border Protection Station in Truckee, often referred to as the ‘bug station,’ which wrapped this past weekend,” Sierra Sun’s Kevin MacMillan reported. “In all, more than 1,882 pounds of fireworks were confiscated, CAL FIRE spokesman Daniel Berlant said Tuesday, resulting in 20 misdemeanor citations and seven felony arrests.”
Phew, that’s a lot of fireworks!

“On June 23, roughly 50 of those homeowners converged onto Marie Sluchak Community Park in Tahoma as El Dorado County officials held a meeting to update residents on what is being done to remediate the failed project.”
