dozen firefighters will be out of a job when three fire stations in contra costa county close this weekend. stations scheduled for closure are in bethel island, knightsen and brentwood. the reason for the closure is a failed parcel tax. the firefighter district has to cut $3 million from its budget, causing three stations to be closed and 15 firefighters to be laid off. >> it's going to be very sad. spent a lot of time in this station, spent a lot of time with the firefighters here that we'll lose and it's going to be a sad day. >> one of the stations scheduled for closure is station 54 in brentwood. it has been open for 80 years. well, san francisco firefighters stumbled right onto a pot farm, while battling a grass fire in the silver terrace neighborhood. the fire burned some brush near a homeless encampment off charter oak avenue near interstate 280. flames threatened several homes for a short time. it was in one of those homes where authorities discovered several dozen marijuana plants along with a complex wiring and air filtration system. police are now looking for the tenants. fire investigators are checking to see if someone at the encampment may have started that fire. and investigators think an apartment fire in san francisco may have originated in an air shaft. about 65 people lived in the seven-story building in the city's tender loin district. while a few of the units were damaged, a broken gas line prevented all of the residents from returning for hours. one woman suffered smoke inhalation. budget cuts could jeopardize the accreditation for san francisco city college. the chronicle reports an evaluation of the school should come out next week. the report suggests city college has too few experienced administrators and is too low on financial reserves. members of occupy oakland are filing a civil lawsuit against the city over a rowdy protest earlier this year. they claimed 400 demonstrators were unlawful arrested when they tried to take over a ymca building back on january 28th. the protesters claim police cordoned them outside the broadway street fitness center and would not let them leave. this was during the same protest in which occupiers tried to take over the henry j kaiser convention center and vandalized city hall. the body of a former administrator of a city in los angeles county was found on angel island on the same day a critical report from the state's auditor's office was released. park rangers found the body of eric fresh on thursday. rangers say fresh was found floating in the water near his bicycle. now, fresh is the former administrator in the town of vernon, which is just 5 miles from los angeles. fresh's death came on the same day the state auditor issued a report criticizing the way fresh and others managed that small scandal-plagued city. federal authorities cited two marijn county men on charges of flying a remote-controlled helicopter around alcatraz. the park service says the drone chopper flew close to the island, frightening birds and buzz tion right over the heads of tourists. authorities confiscated a video shot by the mini helicopter. one of the men told the newspaper no one was harmed and they were taking aerial pictures of alcatraz. federal emergency officials are drafting new flood zones for roth valley. the maps released thursday by fema show which areas are at the highest risk for flooding. people living in the area could face stricter building restrictions and higher flood insurance rates. the maps shown this week are working versions. once complete, there will be a 90-day appeals period. four lawsuits have been filed on behalf of the victims of a collision between an amtrak train and a truck in northern nevada. the lawsuits claim railroad crossing gates were defective and that the department of transportation did not post effective warning signs for drivers. the fatal collision happened last year, in june. amtrak conductor and four passengers were killed, and about 100 people were injured. california's ban on foi gras goes into effect tomorrow. customers packed into this french bistro last night for a farewell event. everything on the menu involved the delicacy made from duck or goose liver. producing or selling it will be against state law starting tomorrow. >> i'm seeing the culture go away. i'm seeing the pride in a technique going away. >> animal rights activists say foi gras is cruel because the animals are force-fed through a long tube down their throat, causing their organs to swell up to 10 times their normal size. supporters are vowing to get that ban repealed. well, there are several other new laws taking effect tomorrow. among them, a mandatory commercial recycling measure which will expand recycling to all multifamily homes and commercial businesses in california. there's also seth's law, which is an antibullying measure that provides schools with tools to prevent bullying. there's a new law requiring

process. muni has also hired more fare inspectors to make sure everyone is paying their way. well, there's a fund-raiser today for victims of an apartment fire in san francisco. it all happened back on may 6th when the fire severely damaged a building at valencia in the city's mission district. 37 people lost their homes and while many have found new places to stay, others are still in need of permanent housing. today's fund-raiser is at 3:00 at the casanova lounge on valencia street. well, it is opening day for the marijn county fair. we were there yesterday, as workers were putting on all
