Vallejo reopens Glen Cove fire station once shuttered amid city’s bankruptcy

Vallejo Fire Department’s Glen Cove Fire Station 26 reopened on Saturday, 11 years after city budget constraints cut the fire service team in half.

Amid bankruptcy, the city of Vallejo closed four out of the eight fire stations in the city in the matter of a few years. Each closure was estimated to save an additional $1.9 million a year, the city’s finance department projected during financial cutbacks.
