The Kern Overnight — August 27, 2026

Responders administered Narcan for a possible overdose at a White Lane motel in the early-morning hours, one of a handful of calls that kept a quiet night across Kern County from staying perfectly still. Crews also answered a medical aid on Stine Road where callers asked for an ambulance without being able to say what was wrong, and checked on an elderly woman with dementia who could not be reached.
