West Covina FD vs. Los Angeles County FD

At the "Town Hall Meeting" the city was finally allowed back into the council chambers after weeks of not being allowed in the chamber due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the order by the governor. The residents were required to be distanced to help slow the spread.  

Many residents emailed their comments to the city clerk's office for public reading at the meeting.  There were several residents that also attended in person and a few that spoke by telephone.  Of the comments that were submitted the majority was by people opposed to the proposed change to LACoFD.  The people that submitted comments (in person or emailed) in support of making a change were mostly firefighters or members of the management union, all employees of the WC Fire Department.  Only a couple of people in support of the change could not be attributed to the WCFD in some way.   The members of the West Covina Fire Department are very good at having the families and friends write letters and speak on social media platforms in support.  Generally, those people are not even residents of our city.  It is rumored that not one of the firefighters are residents of West Covina.
