OAKLAND, Calif. (KRON) — A fire broke out in Oakland Hills Wednesday off of Lochard Street. Fire crews were delayed in their response time due to budget cuts and closed-down stations.

Residents in the Oakland Hills are organizing and passing a petition asking the city to immediately reopen the shuttered fire stations after fires in Southern California bring to light local fears.
