Whats the story behind the closing of Station #167? Did El Monte decide to reduce an Engine Co. in the city for cost savings?



And does this leaves 90's, 166's, 168's and 169's in El Monte totalling 3 Engine Co.'s and 1 Quint Co.?



Thanks in advance.

Larry,



Basically, it was money issues. It leaves E's 168 & 169, Quint 166 & the Squad @ 166s. Btw, Engine 90 is in the City of S. El Monte.



El Monte wanted to close 167, because it is cash strapped. The County tried to work with them, but the city won out.
