Hidden Springs Residents Thank Firefighters Who Saved Their Homes
|
On Saturday, August 19, residents from the Hidden Springs Community of the City of Moreno Valley took the opportunity to thank the Moreno Valley firefighters who helped save their homes and properties from the Blaine Fire.
The Blaine Fire started in Riverside County on Sunday, August 13, and quickly spread toward the City of Moreno Valley and the unincorporated areas of Pigeon Pass, threatening hundreds of homes. Mandatory evacuations were ordered for residents of Hidden Springs and Pigeon Pass.
Firefighters from Moreno Valley Fire Department and CALFIRE/Riverside County were able to fully contain the fire after four days. Not a single house was lost in the firefight, despite flames coming dangerously close to homes.
The City’s Police Department, Public Works Street Maintenance Division and Riverside County Emergency Management Department assisted in the evacuation efforts.
Battalion Chief Mark League met with the residents of the Hidden Springs Community to accept the water, cookies, snacks, fruit, and thank you cards that were graciously donated by the residents. Those donations were then distributed to firefighters involved in the firefight.

NBA All-Star Kawhi Leonard Hosts Moreno Valley Basketball Clinic
|
NBA all-star Kawhi Leonard from the San Antonio Spurs recently helped eighty Moreno Valley children polish their basketball skills at a free clinic at the Conference and Recreation Center.
Basketball players were chosen to participate in the Kawhi Leonard Basketball Clinic through a lottery.
Leonard and his group of coaches worked with the kids on not only basketball skills and drills, but on life skills, etiquette, and the importance of setting goals. The physical therapist from the San Antonio Spurs also made an appearance to talk to the players about safety, training, and injury prevention.
Throughout the clinic, players were divided into appropriate age groups. Within their groups there were opportunities for individual and group work, competitions, games, and drills.
Thank you Kawhi Leonard for spending the day with our young basketball players.

Police Department Conducts DUI/Driver's License Checkpoint
|
The Moreno Valley Police Department Traffic Unit recently conducted a DUI/Driver’s License checkpoint near the intersection of Ironwood Avenue and Heacock Street.
Moreno Valley Police Officers screened a total of 233 vehicles from 10 p.m. to 3 p.m., arresting one driver on a DUI- alcohol arrest, one for illegal drugs, and citing 12 drivers for operating a vehicle without a license or with a suspended or revoked license.
Checkpoints are held in locations that have the greatest opportunity for deterring drunk and drugged drivers while helping to ensure the safety of officers and the public.
California has seen a disturbing increase in drug-impaired driving crashes in recent years. The Moreno Valley Police Department supports the Office of Traffic Safety’s new effort to educate all drivers that “DUI Doesn’t Just Mean Booze.” If you take prescription drugs, particularly those with a driving or operating machinery warning on the label, you could be impaired enough to be arrested for DUI. Marijuana can also be impairing, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs. Using marijuana and getting behind the wheel can result in a DUI arrest.
Drivers who choose to operate a vehicle under the influence not only endanger themselves, but other motorists on the roadways. It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that they drive their vehicle in a safe manner. If you are convicted of a DUI, you may be subject to fines, license suspension, and jail time.
The Moreno Valley Police Department will be conducting another DUI/Driver’s License Checkpoint or DUI Saturation Patrol in the near future as part of our ongoing commitment to reducing deaths and injuries on our streets and highways.
