A man whose body was found last week on a boat that caught fire and sank at the Bethel Island Marina has been identified by the Contra Costa County coroner s office as 56-year-old Douglas Hiles.
East Contra Costa Fire Protection District crews initially responded around 10 p.m. on Feb. 7 to a report of a boat on fire and arrived to find the vessel in flames that also spread to a dock awning.
Firefighters extinguished the blaze, but learned a man lived on the boat and his vehicle was still parked at the marina. The boat ended up sinking early the next morning, then was raised on Feb. 10 and the man, later identified as Hiles, was found dead on it, county sheriff s officials said.
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.
