Chief Edward Mills, who leads the city's fire department, gave a presentation to City Council on Monday following growing community concerns over staffing of engine 501, a 750-gallon fire engine that's been in service since May 2014.
A fire on Signal Hill Road in May around 1 p.m. left nobody injured; Mills said if the same incident happened at 1 a.m., a similar outcome may not have been possible.
