Rivas: First off, engaging with citizens like you is what makes local government so exciting, so I want to thank you for your passion on this issue.
Angry protester: Tell us what you’re gonna do about it.
Rivas: Please, please understand, I was told the closure of 87 would have no delay on emergency response times.
Lewis: But it has.
Rivas: And all those firefighters have transitioned to other houses, so there’s been no loss of jobs.
Lewis: You’re dodging the question.
Rivas: Rest assured, the decision to close the house was well-researched, and we did everything…
Angry protester: Just give them their firehouse back.
All: Yeah.
