The city of Oakdale is cutting ties with Stanislaus Consolidated Fire Protection District. And less than two months remain on a service agreement between the fire protection agency and Oakdale’s rural fire district. Unless something happens to salvage these relationships, residents can expect to see significant changes in emergency response in parts of eastern Stanislaus County. The Oakdale council decided Wednesday to end an agreement with Stanislaus Consolidated, which has provided emergency service in and around Oakdale since 2014. Stanislaus Consolidated also provides service under a soon-to-expire contract with Oakdale Rural Fire Protection District, whose board members have demanded better terms in any renewal agreement. The Stanislaus Consolidated board decided Thursday evening to make one more offer to preserve its partnership with the city. But Oakdale’s top administrator said Friday the Cowboy Capital needs to explore other options before the June 30 expiration date for the five-year agreement.
