****Update- The water has receded and the road is open to traffic*****

11th street at the Spunky Creek low water crossing (19800 block) is currently closed due to flooding. Traffic barriers are currently in place. We want to take the opportunity to remind everyone that safety is the priority, safety for drivers and emergency crews alike. Please don’t bypass the traffic barriers and signs, find an alternate route. We will provide updates when available, with the projected rain in the forecast, the closure may be extended. Remember to Turn Around, Don’t Drown.

Crews are currently on scene of a Motor Vehicle Collision in the intersection of 22500 E Admiral Place. Please expect delays and avoid the area if possible as crews work to clear the incident and clean up.

This Memorial Day, all of us at Rolling Hills Fire Protection District #1 pause to remember and honor those who gave their lives for our country. Their sacrifice reminds us of the true meaning of service. Thank you to the fallen heroes and their families.
