Here are the top stories today in Roseville:

1. Did you see the fire in the 5100 block of Sunset Blvd. yesterday? It wasn't anything to panic about; it was a training exercise conducted by Roseville Fire along with CAL FIRE NEU. The structure that burned was slated for demolition, anyway. (Roseville)
2. Election results are still coming in for Placer County. If you're looking for the most updated count, Roseville Today has you covered, with an election tracker that's updated every 15 minutes. (Roseville Today)
3. The Center for Digital Government thinks Roseville is the cat's pajamas! The center awarded us fourth place in the mid-size city category for our efforts to digitize. This digitization helps residents and businesses alike to work more efficiently within the city of Roseville. It also helps enhance resilience of the infrastructure. Congratulations, Roseville! (Roseville)
4. After a suspect fled during a traffic stop near Twelve Bridges High School in Lincoln, the school was placed on lockdown. According to Lincoln Police, the lockdown was just a precaution and no students or faculty were ever at risk. The lockdown lasted from 11:45 to 12:18 and went off without a hitch. The suspect is still at large, but known to local authorities. (Gold Country Media)
5. The city of Roseville reminds you to "give your sprinklers a holiday." During the winter, especially when rain is expected to be prevalent, residents are advised to adjust their sprinkler timer, or just turn it off altogether. "You can also invest in a WaterSense-labeled weather-based sprinkler timer and never have to worry about your sprinkler schedule. These controllers use current local weather and landscape conditions to adjust the watering schedule and make sure your plants get just the right amount of water." (Roseville)
