Here are the top five stories today in Oceanside-Camp Pendleton:
- The Oceanside Police Department has over 20 openings and anticipates that number to grow as more people retire and are promoted within. The Patch reached out to Jennifer Atenza, the Public Information Officer of the Oceanside Police Department, for an update on the recruitment efforts. (Oceanside-Camp Pendleton Patch)
- Oceanside Fire Department units responded to a reported residential structure fire in the 400 block of N. Clementine early morning on Sunday. The first engine on scene arrived four minutes after the initial alarm and found a single-story house with heavy smoke and fire from the first-floor kitchen that had extended into the attic space. Fire crews pulled multiple hose lines into the structure along with a coordinated ventilation effort from the roof to suppress the fire. Fire personnel were able to extinguish the fire and clear the structure of any occupants in approximately 19 minutes. (osidenews.com)
- As the 25th anniversary of the Oceanside Museum of Art approaches, and the first in-person gala is set to take place Saturday at the new Seabird Resort, Executive Director Maria Mingalone is ready to party. "For me, the gala represents a platform and a culmination of the last five years — of getting here and being poised for that future for the coming expansion and the rearticulation of the museum and its role in our community,". (The San Diego Union-Tribune)
- One police officer was killed and another hospitalized following a helicopter crash in Newport Beach on Saturday evening in "a tragedy we are investigating," police announced.
Nicholas Vella, 44, died after the wreck around 6:30 p.m., an emotional Huntington Beach Police Chief Eric Parra said at a 10 p.m. news conference.
