At approximately 11:05 AM, Riverside CHP officers were assisting Caltrans on Everton Avenue at Iowa Avenue when they were flagged down by a good samaritan advising them of a fire at the University Riverside Gardens Apartments.

Our officers quickly jumped into action and rushed to the scene where they observed a fire that was rapidly spreading. Without hesitation, our officers entered the complex and began notifying the residents of the fire. The officers assisted with evacuating residents and their pets. Once Riverside fire personnel arrived, our officers helped with securing the scene.

Thanks to the quick actions of the good samaritan, officers, and fire personnel, no injuries were reported.

One decision can change everything.

A seat belt may seem small, but in a crash, it can mean the difference between life and death. Too many lives are lost every year because someone chose not to buckle up.

Buckle up. Every seat. Every trip. Every time.

Congratulations to all the officers and prosecutors on receiving a MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) Recognition Award at yesterday's ceremony at the Eagle Glen Golf Club.

Mothers Against Drunk Driving, recognizes law enforcement officers, prosecutors, first responders, and other community members for their efforts in preventing impaired driving and supporting victims.

These honors recognize their outstanding commitment to removing impaired drivers from our roads, raising public awareness, and ultimately saving lives.

Yesterday, we had the honor of attending the Caltrans District 8 Memorial, standing alongside Caltrans District 8 and our partners to remember and honor those who gave their lives in service to keeping our roadways safe.

Assistant Chief Branconier along with CHP leadership from across the region came together in support, reflecting on the sacrifices made and the responsibility we all share to protect those working on our highways.

As the Inland Empire continues to see significant road improvements, we want to remind everyone that these work zones are active, and lives are on the line.

Slow down for the cone zone. Move over when you see emergency lights.

The California Highway Patrol will be actively patrolling with enhanced enforcement in construction zones to protect workers and the public.

Every cone represents someone’s life. Let’s do our part to make sure everyone goes home safely.
