East Contra Costa Fire takes next step toward possible consolidation [East Bay Times]
Dec. 11 East Contra Costa Fire Protection District has agreed to share costs for a study on potential consolidation with Contra Costa Fire Protection District.
The action Wednesday came after a consultant, AP Triton Consulting, which East Contra Costa Fire hired, determined the annexation into ConFire would be “viable” and “cost-effective” after analyzing the district’s finances.
“We’re recommending you take the next step (a full, in-depth study), which will enhance and result in a more cost-effective organization,” AP Triton’s Kurt Latipow told the East Contra Costa Fire Protection District board.
