California: The 112,000 acre Gifford Fire is proving difficult to control in the Garcia Wilderness, and is making a push towards the Machesna Mountain Wilderness, fueled by two large fire columns observed yesterday afternoon.

Spot fires and slop-overs have been the focus of crews, while aviation continues to insert Hotshot Crews into the wilderness areas. Resources are now constructing fire-line to tie into the Madre Fire burn scar.

In the San Rafael Wilderness to the south, crews continue to advance handline construction, tying into existing control lines and are supported by aircraft with water drops. Thanks to the subscriber who shared these views of the Fire. Progress is being made as the fire is now 21% contained.

Please, pray for the two California Highway Patrol officers who were injured in the line of duty tonight.🙏🏻

Acton, CA - August 9, 2025 At approximately 6:43 p.m. on Saturday, a California Highway Patrol (CHP) vehicle was involved in a serious traffic collision along the southbound lanes of State Route 14 near Soledad Canyon Road in the Antelope Valley.

According to initial reports, the patrol unit veered to the right shoulder of the freeway and struck a dirt embankment, causing the vehicle to roll multiple times—approximately three—before coming to a stop. Two CHP officers were inside the vehicle at the time of the crash.

Los Angeles County Sheriff’s deputies and additional CHP units arrived on scene shortly after the incident. By the time they arrived, Los Angeles County Fire Department crews had already extricated both officers from the wreckage. The officers were transported by ambulance for medical evaluation and treatment.

This afternoon, the two suspects connected to recent burglaries in East Gadsden are in custody. When confronted by our officers, they chose to run. After a brief foot pursuit, they were quickly apprehended.

During the arrest of one suspect, an officer was injured. Our thoughts and full support are with them as they recover.

We are grateful to the community, the many partnering law enforcement agencies, and the Good Samaritan bystanders who stepped in to help. Your actions reflect the very spirit of Pride, Integrity, and Excellence that we strive to serve with every day.

Mayor Craig Ford stated, “Our officers put themselves in harm’s way every day to keep Gadsden safe, and we do not take that for granted. Today, one of our own was injured in the line of duty. I ask our community to join me in praying for the officer and their family while they heal. I’m proud of the hard work and our GPD solving yet another case. Great work!”
