As a reminder to everyone... DUI driving is a choice that is completely avoidable and preventable. If faced with the decision to drink and drive this coming Maximum Enforcement Period (MEP) for the long Labor Day weekend, remember this story and make the only right decision. #LaborDay2020 #BuzzedDrivingIsDrunkDriving #maketherightchoice #itsnotworthit #DriveHighGetADUI #savealife https://youtu.be/jf0lAR99AbM

Cal fire crews are on scene already working hard to gain control of the Potters Ravine Fire. We are extremely grateful for their efforts to keep our community safe. #calfirefirefighters #calfire #ca_dwr

The Potters Fire is burning in the Lake Oroville State Recreation Area just north of Oroville Dam. DWR’s infrastructure is not at risk however to ensure public safety, DWR, State Parks and CHP have closed public access to Oroville Dam road (dam crest road) and the spillway boat launch ramp. We will continue to monitor the situation and adjust operations and recreation access as needed.

Oroville CHP units are closely monitoring the fire in the Potters Ravine area. Due to the proximity of the fire to the Dam, the Oroville Dam Road (the road traveling across the Oroville Dam) is blocked and we will not be allowing access at this time.

Oroville CHP units are on scene handling a solo vehicle, non injury tractor trailer collision. Due to power lines down, SR-162 at Arbol Avenue is closed to through traffic. In addition SR-162 at Oro Quincy Hwy is closed. Please seek a different route. Estimated closure is three hours.

Sure, your car goes over a hundred miles an hour. But how fast can you walk? #footpatrol #towtruck #licensetowalk #runforlife #fitnessmotivation #howaboutthathandwriting #seriouslyhowgoodisthathandwriting

Edit: To clear up any confusion, even if you’re not on PRCS, this is against the law. Occurred last night: If you’re carrying over two pounds of Meth, and over a 1/4 pound of Heroin, you’re going to want to obey the traffic laws. Unfortunately for the individual last night, driving wrong way on SR-162 caught the attention of the California Highway Patrol... ... Upon contact, and finding out the driver was on PRCS, in addition to having two felony warrants out of Lassen County, he was placed under arrest. After searching the vehicle, over two pounds of Meth, a quarter pound of Heroin, ammunition, and over three thousand dollars cash was located. Also the materials for selling and distributing drugs was located. Since the driver was on PRCS he wasn’t supposed to have any of this. New charges have been filed, driver booked. #PRCS #maybehewilldobetternexttime
