Placer County steps up efforts to crack down on brake fires on Interstate 80 ...Middle East

In response, county officials hosted a webinar Tuesday morning, bringing together the California Trucking Association, Caltrans, Cal Fire, and the California Highway Patrol to discuss prevention measures.

The renewed focus on prevention comes after more than 60 fires last year were linked to failing brake systems.

"It doesn't matter if you've been a trucker for a year, six months, or two days, or 15, 20, 30 years," Khalil said. "Because the outcome could be devastating."

District 5 Supervisor Cindy Gustafson emphasized the importance of working together in a statement, saying, "This effort is about prevention, awareness, and working together to keep our foothill and mountain towns safe."

Over the past few months, the county has teamed up with Caltrans to clear dry brush and vegetation along I-80, a key step in reducing the fuel available for potential fires.
