• Disgusting infestation forces firefighters to evacuate Bay Area station (nypost.com) — Firefighters serving Fairfax have temporarily relocated operations to Ross Valley Fire Station 20 in San Anselmo after a stubborn flea infestation hit their Fairfax quarters and nearby Peri Park. The eco-conscious town briefly tried non-toxic treatments before approving limited pesticide use, and officials stress that 911 service continues, though Fairfax response times may be slightly longer.
