As LA Burns, Fremont Adds Fire Truck, Personnel

FREMONT, CA — Within days of the firestorms starting in Los Angeles last week, questions were raised about the city's decision to shutter fire stations in an effort to reduce costs.

Oakland is also contemplating closing fire stations, something that does not sit well in for residents who remember the 1991 Tunnel Fire — also known as the Oakland Hills Firestorm —that killed 25 people and destroyed 2,900 structures.

If you are wondering where Fremont stands — a Grand Opening Ceremony is planned for Tuesday to commemorate the addition of one fire truck and nine firefighters to the Fremont Fire Department.

The ceremony will be held at 1 p.m. at Fremont Fire Station #6, 4355 Central Ave., in Fremont.

The public is invited to attend.
