### Neighbors Affected by Fire Station Relocation to Seek Legal Action
Residents of the Cacho neighborhood are set to file a legal injunction against the relocation of Fire Station 1 to “Plaza del Policía Area Number 3” park. On Friday, August 2nd, the Cacho Neighbors Association and residents of Arboleda Residencial convened at the park to discuss legal actions against the installation of the fire station.
Juan Carlos Fernández Pavón, President of the Civil Association, mentioned that residents are preparing to address environmental concerns due to the trees that were cut down and supposedly planned for relocation and replantation elsewhere.
The association will request technical details from the city’s Major Office about the current location of Plaza del Policía. They have already gathered around 50 signatures from neighbors, which will be submitted to the municipality on Tuesday, with copies sent to relevant departments.
The Neighbors Association expects a response from the municipality within one to two weeks. In the meantime, they plan to proceed with a legal injunction. Fernández Pavón emphasized that if no official or legal resolution is provided, they will move ahead with legal action.
On Monday, Tijuana Mayor Montserrat Caballero Ramírez expressed her support for the residents affected by the relocation and urged them to approach council members who missed sessions to vote on acquiring the previous station’s land. However, Fernández Pavón retorted that the fire station’s installation was an imposition and questioned the council members’ exclusion from the decision-making process.
