Mercy Medical Center Redding is relying on a mix of permanent and temporary cancer specialists while planning to expand services and finalize a radiation oncology partner, aiming to keep more patients from leaving the area for treatment. 
2. Shasta County nuisance abatement record shows $212,737 in costs and penalties at Redding property (sidekick.news) — Shasta County has finalized more than $212,000 in costs and penalties tied to nuisance violations at a Sylvia Lane property in Redding, following multiple abatement days and years of calls for service.

4. Crews target non-native grasses, brush and dead trees in 120-acre Gore Ranch project (krcrtv.com) — Cal Fire crews will be thinning 120 acres of grasses, brush, and dead trees at Gore Ranch near Redding on Tuesday and Wednesday, so expect visible smoke, aircraft, and fire equipment in the area. The work is part of a broader fuel‑reduction effort to strengthen local wildfire defenses and may create smoke that lingers overnight.
