OAKLAND, Calif. — Oakland firefighters are demanding better crime protection after a fire station came under gunfire.

A picture tweeted by the Oakland Fire Department shows windows shot up at Fire Station 18 on Bancroft Avenue, which is close to the scene of a fatal shooting Tuesday night.

The firefighters at Station 18 had just returned from a fire, had just parked their truck in the garage when all of a sudden then had to duck underneath the vehicle to avoid being hit by gunfire.
