Industrial Fire, Pacific Corrugated Pipe Company
Around 3pm today, a large industrial fire broke out in the industrial area near Fruitridge and Power Inn. Engines, Trucks, Battalion Chiefs, Ambulances and other support apparatus responded from all over Sacramento to aid in containing the blaze. Upon our arrival in the area, deep black towering smoke clouds belched from the area. Fire crews went into a defensive containment mode by laying large supply water lines and deluging the blaze with arial fire apparatus. The inferno was contained in short order and traffic moved freely again down Power Inn. With the high winds that were present and the wind the fire makes on it's own, this fire could have been a nightmare. Thanks to rapid responding and well trained fire crews, the conflagration was managed, contained and extinguished without further complications. (12.05.2008, 9 Photos)

Street Legal Fun Drags
The roar of the engines, the smoke in the air and the smell of burnt rubber let you know you were at Sacramento Raceway. Wednesday night at the Raceway is affectionately known as "Run What You Brung" night. Excitement fills the air when people from all over NorCal bring their "rides" and pair them up. Motorcycles to imports...yes, even a VW buss, you can see it all...you can even race your stock Dodge Ram truck. But the lighthearted excitement shifts to a tense, respectful awe when the line of Corvettes roll through the gate and in pairs, take their positions at the pole. When the tree lit up and the pedals dropped, the sound in the air commanded attention as the 'Vettes launched out of the staging area and catapulted down the strip. Keep an eye on our events calendar for the next Corvette grudge match at Sacramento Raceway...YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS IT!! (15.08.2007, 122 Photos)
