FREE SANDBAGS

People who need sandbags to ward off this week’s storms can pick them up for free Monday through Friday from at Kern County Fire Headquarters (5642 Victor Street) in Bakersfield. No other fire stations are handing them out.

Residents are encouraged to bring their own shovels if they want sand as well. Visit the county fire website at kerncountyfire.org for more details.
