Good morning, Bakersfield.

Valley Psychological Group, a mental health clinic at the corner of 21st and E streets, faces an $8,500 bill to remove a decades-old tree damaged by fire over the weekend (a safety hazard prompting a 48-hour abatement notice).

Kern County Public Health and the Sheriff’s Office conducted an enforcement operation on July 11 to address unpermitted food vendors in Lamont, Arvin, Mettler, and Fraizer Park.

The effort issued cease and desist orders, fines, and confiscated hazardous food and equipment from vendors.

Doctors in Bakersfield advised residents to watch for signs of heat exhaustion and drink extra water as rising summer temperatures are predicted to linger until the weekend — with extra caution urged for the elderly, infants, and pregnant women.

Local farmers have also adjusted work schedules to cope with the heat during fieldwork.
