The East Contra Costa Fire Protection District this week finalized its response to a December Grand Jury report that said fire service in far East County is "adequate" despite station closures, inadequate fire stations, the lack of money to replace aging equipment, substandard crews of 2 firefighters on some engines, and pay levels half of those in other parts of the county.
In its response, the District Board "emphatically disagreed" with virtually all the Grand Jury's findings, except for the fact that the District can not maintain its current level of service without additional revenue.
"I only wish we had been stronger" in the response's wording, ECCFPD Director Jim Frazier said at Monday's Board meeting.
