The Contra Costa County Fire Protection District announced the opening of Fire Station 74 in Pinole after its closure more than a decade ago.
The ceremony and open house Saturday at 11 a.m. showcased the arrival of "contract-provided" fire services, such as fire protection, rescue, and emergency services in Pinole.
Some of the additional staffing includes an engine crew using both a "standard structure fire engine and a specialized wildland fire engine," officials said. The second engine type will be used in wildfires and is expected to significantly improve response times.
