Marina Fire Chief Doug McCoun was carjacked in his fire department SUV Friday around 9 p.m. while responding to a motor vehicle accident.

McCoun told reporters he first thought the man approaching his vehicle wanted assistance after the accident, but the man reached inside and pulled him out.

The Monterrey County sheriff’s department recovered the vehicle Saturday morning at the home of a woman who reported a stranger was in her house. They arrested 43-year-old Kevin Peck of Sacramento and charged him in the incident.

The Union City Fire Department has added a 75-foot aerial ladder to its fleet. The fire truck, which pumps 2,500 gallons per minute and has a 500-gallon water tank, replaces a 43-year-old ladder.

The apparatus was previously owned by Farmington Hills.

The Concord Fire Department’s Station 12 is now fully operational and in service, following this past week’s ribbon-cutting ceremony. Footage of the event can be seen here.

The 17,000-square-foot facility houses Engine 12 and Battalion 3. It’s located at 3300 Roberta Rd.

“This new station is vital to a timely response, better service to the homes and businesses in this rapidly growing district, and ensures safety in the city where we ‘live, work, and play.’ This beautiful station demonstrates that the City of Concord cares about its Fire Department and the community it protects.”
