Supervisor Paul Cook, who represents San Bernardino County's First District, said he was sworn in for a second term in early December and provided a brief district update covering emergency equipment and community engagement.

Cook said the county and the Sheriff's Department unveiled a snow cat, the "Blizzard Wizard," at the Victor Valley Station to improve emergency response in severe winter weather after the historic blizzards of 2023. He said the vehicle was purchased with funds allocated by the county Board of Supervisors and will help ensure safety for residents and visitors to Wrightwood during winter storms.

Cook also said student board members from Excelsior Charter School visited his district office on Jan. 27 to learn about local government and public service. He closed by directing listeners to his website and social media for additional district news and updates.
