Our community came together today for Family Fun Night, and to remember and honor those who sacrificed and lost their lives in the twin towers on this day 25 years ago.

We began with a solemn ceremony of remembrance before continuing with a series of fun run laps that brought families, friends, and neighbors together.

The first lap was led by first responders from Turlock Fire Station 34, followed by a community color run and a third lap led by our very own 209 Run Club.

Thank you to everyone who participated, helped make the evening possible, and came out to remember, honor, and spend time together as a community.

We appreciate everyone who joined us and helped make this Family Fun Night a meaningful and memorable evening. 🇺🇸

This morning, our community gathered to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the families forever changed, and the first responders whose courage and sacrifice continue to be remembered.

Twenty-five years have passed, but the importance of coming together to remember has not.

Thank you to our Turlock Fire Department and Turlock Police Department for hosting this event, to the City staff and elected officials who joined us, and to each community member who took time out of their morning to remember and pay tribute.

We will never forget. 💙

Press release: Turlock Fire Deploys New Roadway Safety Technology

Turlock, CA | September 3, 2026 — The Turlock Fire Department has implemented new digital alerting technology designed to improve roadway safety and provide motorists with earlier warning when emergency vehicles are approaching or operating on scene.

HAAS Alert's Safety Cloud® works alongside traditional emergency lights and sirens by sending real-time digital alerts through participating navigation applications and compatible vehicle systems. The added notification provides motorists with more time to recognize an approaching emergency vehicle, safely react, and make way for first responders.

Two Turlock Fire engines are currently equipped with the technology. Two additional engines currently being built for the Department will also be equipped with Safety Cloud when they are placed into service, expanding the system across more of the Department's frontline apparatus.

“This technology gives motorists critical extra time to recognize that we're approaching and safely react,” said Division Chief David Mallory. “With just two engines equipped, we're already seeing how frequently these alerts are reaching drivers. Adding the technology to two more engines will expand that reach, but the message we want motorists to remember is the same: if you see lights and hear sirens, pull to the right.”

“Public safety means making sure our first responders have the tools they need to do their jobs safely and effectively,” said City Manager Dr. John J. Murphy. “This technology is another example of Turlock investing in practical solutions that strengthen emergency response and help protect both our employees and the community they serve.”

When an equipped Turlock Fire engine activates its emergency lights, Safety Cloud can automatically send an alert through participating navigation applications and compatible in-vehicle systems. According to HAAS Alert, notifications are currently available through Waze and Apple Maps, as well as compatible systems in select vehicles.

The technology can also provide advance warning when Turlock Fire crews are operating at an emergency scene along an active roadway, helping alert approaching motorists to emergency personnel and apparatus ahead.

“California law requires motorists to yield the right-of-way to approaching emergency vehicles displaying emergency lights and sounding a siren. Digital alerts provide an additional safety tool, but do not replace a driver's responsibility to remain alert and respond appropriately to emergency vehicles. Combining new technology with greater public awareness has the potential to make our roads safer and save lives,” said Deputy Fire Chief Jeffrey Serpa.

For Turlock Fire, the public safety message remains simple: If you see lights and hear sirens, pull to the right.

The Turlock Fire Department will continue expanding the use of Safety Cloud as its two new engines are completed and placed into service.

Dear Turlock Community,

Last month, we came together for the 2026 State of Turlock Address and had an opportunity to look at where our city stands today, reflect on how far we’ve come, and talk about the work still ahead.

And there is a lot worth celebrating.

Since 2020, Turlock has balanced every budget while significantly strengthening our financial reserves. At the same time, our Police and Fire departments are fully staffed, and we’re continuing to provide the people, equipment, and resources needed to help keep our community safe.

We’re also delivering on one of the priorities residents have made clear for years: fixing our roads. Twenty-four miles of road work are now complete, another 25 miles are underway, and approximately $60 million has been committed to improving streets throughout Turlock. That’s a significant investment in the roads our residents, families, and businesses rely on every day.

We’re seeing continued economic growth in Turlock as well, with new businesses opening, new jobs being created, and Turlock Marketplace beginning to take shape. These developments bring new opportunities to our community and help build a strong foundation for Turlock’s future.

Behind all of these accomplishments is something even more important: what they mean for the people who call Turlock home. Strong finances help us provide essential services. Better roads make everyday travel safer and more reliable. A strong public safety system helps ensure we’re ready when our residents need us. And new businesses bring jobs, services, and opportunities to our community.

None of these accomplishments happen by accident. They take dedicated City employees, strong community partnerships, responsible stewardship, and residents who continue to tell us what matters most.

The State of Turlock was an opportunity to celebrate how far we’ve come, but our work isn’t finished. We’ll continue listening to our residents, investing in our community, and working each day to make Turlock an even better place to call home.

Thank you for continuing to be part of what makes our community so special.

—Mayor Amy Bublak
