KFSN
FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) Juan Delgado stopped by the Coalinga Fire Department Tuesday night for some sandbags ahead of the storm. My charging cables, I m charged, the portable banks, he said. Flashlights are rechargeable, getting all prepared. In a way, it s good because we need the water, but it s also scary.
Coalinga Fire officials say hundreds of sandbags have been picked up.
The department is also stepping up staff to respond to any weather emergencies quickly. We normally have six, which we do have here, but we do have approximately four to five employees that are local that will be on call for the evening, says Coalinga Fire Engineer Isaac Rodriguez.
