CMPD officers do not believe this is a suspicious death and are investigating it as an accident. We extend our shared sentiment of sadness for the loss of a community member.

Post 1 of 2: This morning, at about 7:52 a.m., CMFR and CMPD responded to a restaurant at the 3300 block of Bristol Street reference a male employee who had fallen from the roof while climbing down a ladder. The 32-year-old man was determined to be deceased upon CMFR’s arrival.

*Brush Fire Update* Due to a strong coordinated effort from CMFR & our regional partners, we have moved into a “mop-up” phase where we perform perimeter patrol, applying water to hotspots and other areas of concern.

*Brush Fire Update* Fire crews continue to make good progress and will transition to mop up. Residents can expect crews to be working throughout the night, and load noises may be heard periodically.
