GOLD COUNTRY NEWS SERVICE

Phones were lighting up non-stop, people were eating whilethey worked, and outside, aplume of smoke was rising through Auburn. But for all thedispatchers knew on Aug. 30,2009, the 49 Fire could haveconsumed six houses as easily as 63 houses.

That can be pretty frustrating,says Erik Wollesen, the PlacerCounty Sheriff’s dispatch serv-ices supervisor. Confined to asmall room on Bell Road, heand his team of nine battled aninvisible enemy last summer.

“We get pieces from phone

calls and radio conversationsbut we don’t know the severity,”he said. “That makes it tough ondispatchers. We don’t get any closure.”

 Which isn’t to say the crisis  was unfelt. Until 11 p.m., thedispatchers fielded 911 calls —400 per hour that day — andfilled resource requests fromemergency responders.

In 15 years, Wollesen hadn’t

seen anything of that scale.“It was just absolute chaos,”he said.

The team of 10 dispatchers  with the Sheriff’s Office dis-patch team tracked 36 sheriff’sunits and coordinating mutualaid responses from six neigh-boring law enforcement agen-

cies and animal rescue teams.They also dispatched for 13 fireengine companies and fireoverhead teams, as well asmutual aid for strike teamsfrom throughout the state. Dur-ing the fire, the dispatch teamhandled 1,718 phone calls andthree automated telephoneevacuation orders.

 Wollesen said his office rout-ed 911 calls to Cal Fire, which

has dealt with such large con-flagrations before, but typically not in such dense populations.

“It was the most rapidly expanding incident that I’vehad to deal with,” said fire cap-tain Anale Burlew, who has

 worked at Cal Fire for five yearsand led its dispatch center dur-ing the 49 Fire.

“That level of intensity wasskyrocketing,” she added.“There’s a high level of adrena-line that goes along with it.”

  Wollesen was less preparedthan usual for that much adren-aline. Sitting at home on his day off, he got a call about the fire,hopped in his truck, and spentthe next eight hours running the show behind the show.

 With the flames stamped outby evening, he was able to sendeveryone home and soonreturn to the normal staff size of four.

“The next day was businessas usual,” he said — except thathe and his staff took an escort-ed tour of the destruction. Thefire consumed 350 acres,destroying 63 homes and twobusinesses. Wollesen just

 wished authorities could haveresponded sooner.

“Once we sat down andlooked at the event, we realizedmaybe if we activate OES earli-

er in anticipation, it wouldmake events go smoother,” hesaid.

In June 2009, an Auburnpharmacy employee noticedsomething odd about a pre-scription, and reported it tothe Auburn Police Depart-ment. That tidbit of informa-tion led to hundreds of hoursof investigation by AuburnPolice Detective Adam Clineand Federal Drug Enforcement

 Agency diversion investigatorBrian Glaudel.

Their three-month investi-gation uncovered a ring of criminals involved in the illegalpossession, sales and distribu-tion of narcotic prescriptiondrugs, fraud, identity theft,forging false prescriptions,burglary and conspiracy.

The investigation involved

victims at 89 pharmacies in 21

cities in fivecounties.

The tworingleaders

 were indictedand arrestedon federalnarcotics traf-ficking charges. Six-

teen others were arrestedlocally, and eight other sus-pects were referred to the Dis-trict Attorney’s Office for con-sideration of charges.

U.S. DEA officials in Sacra-mento and Washington, D.C.,praised Detective Cline for histireless efforts.

Detective Cline is com-mended for outstanding serv-

ice.

On July 4, 2009, Officer JohnStephens and his trainee, Offi-cer Luke Stone, were patrolling near the Folsom Lake Marinaat Brown’s Ravine when they saw a boat speeding into themarina with a medical emer-gency on board — a passenger

  was performing CPR on aswimmer they had pulled onboard.

Officers Stephens and Stoneboarded the other vessel,transferred the victim to thedock, activated emergency medical services, and contin-

ued CPR on the victim untilparamedics arrived. State Park Peace Officers Stephens andStone are commended fortheir extraordinary life-saving effort.

On the afternoon of Nov. 24,2009, Auburn Police OfficerChris Forman was the first offi-cer on the scene of a single-carcollision on the center divideof Interstate 80 at Bell Road,

  with an unconscious femaledriver trapped in the lockedvehicle.

One of the passenger win-dows was rolled down abouttwo inches, and Officer For-

man forced it the rest of the  way down, allowing him tounlock the vehicle and carry 

the uncon-scious vic-tim to safety.He tilted herhead back,opening herairway andallowing herto resumebreathing,

and maintained her airway until paramedics arrived on

scene. Officer Forman is com-mended for his extraordinary life-saving effort.

Editor’s note: The following is an account of Deputy Ken Sko-

 gen’s rescue of an elderly womanduring the 49 Fire that was pub-lished in the Auburn Journal inthe days following the Aug. 30,

 2009 blaze.

BY JENIFER GEE

GOLD COUNTRY NEWS SERVICE

Placer County Sheriff Deputy Ken Skogen was at South Park Place in Auburn helping evacu-ate homes that were already catching during the 49 Fire on

 Aug. 30, 2009.  As he was on scene, a man

rushed up to him and said hismother was trapped inside her

burning home and couldn’t getout, Skogen recalled.

“I asked him, ‘What part of the house?’ and he pointed tothe right-front corner,” Skogensaid.

 As he came to a window helooked in and saw an elderly 

 woman standing with her walk-er and staring back out the win-dow. Skogen said he broke the

 window but the woman would-n’t walk forward and it was toohigh to pull her out.

He then ran to a nearby door,kicked it in and rushed to the

 woman.“She wouldn’t let go of her

 walker,” Skogen said.The deputy was able to pry 

her hands from the walker andthen carried her out of thesmoke-filled house and laid heron the front lawn.

“Her son had a pair of jeansand we put that under herhead,” Skogen said.

Skogen said he tried to call for

an ambulance but couldn’t con-tact one amid all the chaos.They ended up loading the

 woman into his partner’s car, who drove her to a local hospi-tal.

Skogen said he ran into theson later that night.

“He said, ‘She’s fine’ but he  was too devastated to talk,”Skogen said. “His house burneddown.”

Skogen was hesitant toacknowledge his effort to save aresident, but fellow law enforce-ment brought the story to themedia’s attention.

“It’s something any one of us would do,” Skogen said.

On Aug. 31, 2009, as Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger toureda burned neighborhood onParkway Drive, Sheriff Ed Bon-ner informed the governor of the deputy’s efforts.

In a later press conference,Schwarzenegger called thedeputy “a true hero.”

“I told him, ‘You’re my hero. You’re all my heroes. You risked your life to save someone else’slife. That’s the ultimate sacri-fice,’” Schwarzenegger said.

THE PRESS TRIBUNE

On or off the clock, RosevillePolice Sgt. Karl Dyer dedicateshis time to mentoring troubled

 youth, and he’s getting recog-nized for it once again.

Placer County Law Enforce-ment Agencies have given himthe Chaplain’s Award, whichspotlights community leaders

 who go beyond the call of duty to get involved, particularly intheir free time.

Four months ago, his work also earned him a Community 

Hero Award from the recently-formed Placer County YouthCommission, which gets young people involved in county gov-ernment. Hearing of that dis-tinction inspired PLEA to con-sider him for the Chaplain’s

 Award as well.Dyer “demonstrates a sacrifi-

cial spirit of volunteerism andservice,” officials said in a state-ment about the Chaplain’s

  Award. For the police depart-ment, the sergeant wears many hats.

He supervises the youth serv-ices unit, which he has headedsince 2007. His small team of 

  youth services officers areassigned to different Rosevilleschools, including his ownassignment at Placer County Probation’s community school,

 which he visits once or twice a week as a campus officer.

He runs Police Activity League after-school programs.

 And he developed a truancy intervention program and Xpe-rience, a diversion class for

  juvenile offenders and theirparents.

“Our mission is to build rela-tionships with youth,” Dyer saidin an interview last month. “We

act as a resource and mentor to youth, so they feel comfortabletalking to police.”

He works directly with stu-dents and parents, seeing thelatter two to three times a week.

 Aside from the serious work of correcting offenses and reduc-ing truancy, Dyer spends recre-ational time with young people,from paintballing to kayaking.One of his favorite occasions,

though, is their graduation.“That’s a time of success,” hesaid.

Officer Ryan Nottleson was a youthservice officer assigned to OakmontHigh School, Eich Intermediate andBuljan Middle School during the 2009-10 school year.

In his first year as a youth service offi-

cer, Officer Nottleson did an outstand-ing job building relationships with stu-dents at his schools as well as through

the Roseville Police Activity League. Healso was very active in his unit’s truan-cy intervention program and diversionclasses, helping increase school atten-dance and decrease opportunities fordelinquency. Officer Nottleson reaches

out to the community every day to pre-vent crime, educate youth and parents,and build relationships.

Two large truck trail-ers were full of used tires mixed withliquids and other hazardous materials.The cleanup project was complicated

by its size, scope and expense.Officer Solomon negotiated with

 Western Placer Waste Management, theCity of Roseville’s street maintenancedivision and finance department, theRoseville Fire Department’s hazardousmaterials specialists, local tow compa-nies and other internal and externalentities to clean up the site and disposeof the trash.

Deputy David Crawford has workedfor the Placer County Sheriff’s Officesince 1998 as a correctional officer anddeputy sheriff, working in the jail, thenon patrol in North Tahoe, South Placerand the Lincoln area.

He has received numerous accoladesfor his work ethic, investigative skills,

tenacity, teamwork and kindness. A 72-  year-old private airplane pilotdescribed Deputy Crawford as “a creditto the department,” praising him forstaying with him and encouraging himfor seven to eight hours after the pilot’splane crash-landed in a field near Lin-coln.

In 2009, Placer County Sheriff’sDetective Jim Hudson began investi-gating a crime in which a Lincoln-based mortgage broker fraudulently obtained a $10,000 loan by stealing theidentity of a Sacramento resident.

Detective Hudson eventually uncov-ered a nationwide credit fraud schemeinvolving the falsification of credit

reports. The U.S. Department of Justice was notified, and they flew DetectiveHudson to Washington, D.C., to con-front the problem. Detective Hudson isnow deemed the expert on the scheme,and the involved federal governmentagencies are relying on his assistancefor prosecutions throughout the UnitedStates.Jim Hudson
