In just the past two days, fire dispatchers received about 100
calls from app users saying they couldn't get into certain
fire stations because they were closed when firefighters were
responding to calls, said fire Inspector Richard Licon. 'They
couldn't get in and called 911, asking if they could gain
access," he said.
