Oroville Council will move forward with Transition to Cal Fire
The Oroville City Council decided to not consult voters on the plan to turn fire protection over the CAL FIRE. The council decided last summer to dissolve the Oroville Fire Department and instead contract with CAL FIRE. Oroville Fire Department emergency calls are now routed to CAL FIRE dispatch. Tuesday night the city council considered a proposal to delay the move and After lengthy discussion, the council then voted 4-3 to move forward with the original plan and not put the issue on the ballot.
