5 page report

note - Port Authority FD responded and industrial Fds responded - no
city FDs were involved

I wonder how the tugboat managed to call the FD? Marine Channel 16 maybe?

fire not reported for 30 minutes - interesting

East Contra Costa County had a fire

https://www.statter911.com/2019/03/15/early-video-3-homes-burn-in-contra-costa-county-ca/

response time might have been 20 minutes - 3 homes lost

iirc the voters turned down more funds for the FD so stations were
closed leaving huge holes in coverage
