As East Contra Costa Fire Protection District firefighters were at the scene of a vegetation fie, a male was arrested after attempting to steal Engine 53, reports East County Today.

The crew noticed the lights of the engine had turned on so they ran to the engine. They then tackled and detained the male while Oakley Police arrived on scene.

Oakley Police later identified the suspect as Arturo Hernandez, 39.

Construction is underway for a much-needed fire station in Cape Coral, reports WINK.

The $4.5 million station is being built to be able to withstand a major storm. The station is expected to be complete in March of next year and is expected to help reduce response times and lighten the responsibilities of some of the fire stations which currently cover the area.

Google Nest, maker of the Nest Protect Smoke and CO alarm, and The Leary Firefighters Foundation, founded by actor and activist Denis Leary, have partnered for the 5th annual “Thank You Grant”.
