Redlands firefighters responded to the call of a structure fire in the 1300 block of South Center Street at about 5:45 a.m. Monday, June 11. Smoke from the fire could be seen from downtown Redlands, two miles away. When firefighters arrived they found flames coming from the attic of the single story home.

The Redlands Police Department and Chili’s Restaurant in Redlands will hold a fundraising event on Thursday, June 14, to benefit the department’s drug-sniffing canine program.
In December 2008, the department began its drug-sniffing canine program with Radar, a black Labrador mix, and his handler, Redlands Police Officer Dan Figgins, using only private donations. Since that time Radar’s ongoing training, food, medical costs, lodging and grooming have been supported entirely by private donations with no cost to the City’s General Fund.
Redlands Police narcotics officers frequently call on Radar and will make him available to other local agencies. Radar also provides regular service to local schools through a contract with the Redlands Unified School District.
Since 2008, Radar has helped in the interdiction and recovery of more than 50 kilos of methamphetamine, 20 kilos of cocaine, hundreds of pounds of marijuana and over $634,000 in drug-related money.
Redlands Firefighters responded to a structure fire in an unoccupied mobile home early Friday morning. No injuries were reported in the blaze.

The Public Benefit Resource Community Task Force will recommend priorities for the expenditure, in a coordinated manner, of existing and future DIF, Measure O, and other available funds, and develop a recommended process for selecting acquisition or development projects from within the recommended priorities.
