Good morning, Fresno.

Mathews Harley-Davidson in Fresno partnered with the Motorcycle Safety Foundation to host a free Ride Day event during Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month that gave first-time riders a chance to learn safe riding, test gear, and get coaching.

Owner Melissa Walter said the event marked the first Ride Day in California & offered 24/7 facility access for military members and riders with busy schedules.

At around noon, firefighters responded to a fire at a workshop on Cornelia Avenue where multiple vehicles burned and three trailers were present while two individuals evacuated safely and a man (in his mid-40s) was found dead in a trailer as authorities investigated the blaze.

Fresno's Tequila Fest 2025 took place at Chukchansi Park on Saturday night with performances by Ludacris, Juvenile, Yin Yang Twins, and Nina Sky — Fresno favorite DJ Kay Rich hosted the event.

Attendees enjoyed tequila tastings from over two dozen vendors, including Tequila Komos and Tequila Don Fulano, while organizers promised more activations next year.

Regulators issued a cease-and-desist order at Gallo's Fresno winery after inspectors found toxic wastewater threatened local drinking water by exceeding a cap of 54.2 million gallons per year while records showed the winery discharged about 400 million gallons.

Under the order, Gallo must redirect its wastewater to a treatment facility & stop releasing it to designated areas by June 30.

Clovis has opened a new Fire Station 2 in the historic Helm Ranch area after the older building showed decay in 2019—local firefighters now use the energy-efficient facility with modern amenities and offer fire safety demonstrations for the public.

Frustrated veterans and local residents protested outside the Fresno VA Medical Center on Saturday against federal budget cuts that would reduce the VA workforce by 17% (about 83,000 jobs) and eliminate hundreds of healthcare contracts.

Organizers urged elected officials to protect essential benefits for veterans amid growing public anger over these cuts.
