Oakland News Now – Oakland could soon have 7 fire stations closed – video made by the YouTube channel with the logo in the video’s upper left hand corner KTVU FOX 2 San Francisco. OaklandNewsNow.com is the original blog post for this type of video-blog content. Oakland, Calif – Two Oakland fire stations, Station 28 on Grass Valley Road and Station 25 on Butters Drive, were temporarily closed on Monday as part of budget-balancing efforts amid the city’s $130-million deficit. These “brownouts” leave the stations unmanned, with response times expected to increase significantly. Oakland Firefighters Union President Seth Olyer criticized the decision, citing safety risks for residents in 10 neighborhoods, while Fire Chief Damon Covington assured that first responders will still answer 911 calls. The closures, expected to last six months, aim to save $5.5 million, but further cuts could close four more stations. Meanwhile, a vote on selling the Oakland Coliseum could provide financial relief. via IFTTT Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018.
