• Berkeley, Albany split $500,000 in federal funding for fire training (berkeleyside.org) — Kensington firefighters are part of a new regional consortium that just secured $500,000 in federal funding to improve joint fire training across the East Bay. The money, split between Berkeley and Albany, may help build updated training facilities that Kensington crews would use, while Berkeley also upgrades its own fire stations, emergency operations center, and firefighter wellness resources.
