Our sincere condolences go out to the family of Officer Isaiah Cordero and to our brother and sisters at Riverside Sheriffs' Association.

Congratulation to Engineer Ron Helms on his official retirement. Ron started working for the Colton Fire Department on April 22 of 1997 as a firefighter paramedic. On October 29, 2006, he promoted to fire engineer and retired on November 21, 2022. During his course of employment, Ron has been assigned to several different stations, operating several different pieces of equipment. Ron has always been a great mentor, sharing his expertise and experience with all members of our organization. We have all had some great laughs with Ron and he will be missed. We wish you the best of luck on all of your future endeavors, and wish you a long, happy retirement. Enjoy!
