Bakersfield residents are urged to stay clear of the Rowlee Fire zone near the Kern-Tulare county line as crews work to contain the blaze, while city leaders delay a sewer rate hike and face pressure to fix aging infrastructure. The Bakersfield City Council also postponed a vote on the rate increase, and a cultural exhibit at the Beale Memorial Library honored the city’s country music heritage with portraits of Bakersfield Sound legends.
