Did anyone notice Con Fire came from Hillcrest Ave., in Antioch to put out the fire that was two blocks from the Oakley fire station? Good thing it was just a mailbox!!
@Save the Delta… also should be noted that Engine 81 was also stuck in traffic due to construction on Main Street in Oakley which further delayed them. What is scary is where would the second, third, or fourth engines come from?
This is terrible. Thank god it was only a mail box
The question was still not answered, Where were each od the ECCFPD Engines and what were they doing that they could not leave. Stop the dramatics.
