So wild... after all these years #Brentwood still only has 1 fire station. @ContraCostaFire has always planned for the downtown station since annexation. People forget in 2011, ECCFPD had 9 stations. Yo-yo for a decade between 3 & 4 stations.

Vegetation Fire on Sunset in east Brentwood. The same area that would be covered by a new downtown fire station that the planning commission denied. Residents of Brentwood deserve better than what their representatives on the planning commission are giving them.
Brentwood Set to Continue Downtown Fire Station Design Review. We need our Downtown Fire Station. Hoping the Planning Commission does the right thing this time. #BrentwoodCA https://t.co/wWXj8oNotV
Space heaters are a leading cause of home heating fires! Always turn off & unplug portable heaters before leaving the room or going to bed. Nearly half of all home heating fire deaths happen overnight according to the @NFPA.

In #Brentwood... @ContraCostaFire Deputy Fire Chief Aaron McAlister spoke regarding the future downtown Brentwood Fire Station--attempting to correct some misinformation stated over the past year… this came after several veterans spoke passionately during public comments.
Responding crews from stations 20, 26, 23 and 21 did an exceptional job preventing this fire — which had fully engulfed the home by the time crews arrived — from reaching neighboring homes or the extensive vegetation in the immediate area. https://t.co/VWAJsDgcRH
Predawn fire destroys home under renovation in Chabot Park area of Oakland hills. Nearest @OaklandFireCA station closed by @oakland due to budget cuts, so there was a delayed response. @OaklandFireLive@OaklandFFs speak out, 6;30,7:40,10:45 p.m. @KTVU
Earlier this month, our volunteers installed free smoke alarms in the Contra Costa county town of Clayton, making dozens of homes safer from home fires. Lots of us will be cooking up a storm this week for the Thanksgiving holiday, so make sure your smoke alarms work to stay safe!
Contra Costa Fire has deployed firefighters to the Mountain Fire in Ventura County. Crews are assigned to structure protection. For fire updates visit https://t.co/vr2FqnfZgz

@NewsContraCosta The amount of energy that she has put into the denials, the claims of fake news, the old it was not intended bit, the deflections, the phantom special interest, the https://t.co/tyc1SpMnQe could have all ended with “I am sorry and I won’t send any more of those out.”
