now a budget crisis in oakland, bleeding over into the services that keep us safe. we're on the eve of a vote that could have big impacts on how first responders do their jobs. good evening, and thank you for joining us. i'm dion lim. the city council is set to vote tomorrow on significant budget cuts to close a $129 million deficit. every city department is impacted, but firefighters will be some of the hardest hit. it's possible up to half a dozen oakland fire departments could be shuttered over the next seven months. abc seven news reporter j.r stone explains the impact. >> my firefighters are just working their tails off. honestly, every single day. and there's just there's not room

for more workload. and yet that is what we will be forced to deal with. >> oakland firefighter seth olear is vice president of the local 55 union that represents oakland firefighters. the proposal to cut oakland's $129 million budget deficit includes first closing two fire stations, saving an estimated $5.5 million. whatever decisions are made could it impact response time? >> 100% absolutely. it's just dangerous. it's a dangerous situation because waiting for a fire engine is just. we're talking about seconds mean lives. >> then after those two closures and cuts to other departments, the plan calls for an additional four fire stations to be closed. olear says firefighters are already picking up the slack for a station that closed in the grand lake area near lake merritt. he says that station's 3500 calls are being picked up by other trucks.

>> we are already stretched thin, and we already have 6 or 8 fire engines that are running close to 4000 calls, a year. like i've said repeatedly, the phone rang 100,000 times last year and we answered every single call. >> it doesn't appear that any firefighters will lose their job with the budget cutting proposal. those at the closed stations would fill in at different firehouses for the 40 or so firefighters on leave. >> i mean, it's a recipe for disaster, especially in the hills where we are already struggling to meet response times just because the firehouse is so spread out. it could take quite a long time to get to a call. >> all year is hopeful the sale of the oakland coliseum site will be finalized soon, and that the city will be able to collect on delinquent taxes that haven't been paid by local businesses. j.r stone, abc seven news. >> we are committed to covering the budget crisis in oakland every step of the way. you can head to abc7 news.com for complete coverage of this

are. here they go. no, you don't want to hear the rest of that. all right, let's move on to chris alvarez with another preview of sports. hi, chris. >> hey, dion. coming up in sports, stefan and ayesha curry spread holiday cheer this week in oakland. while the 40 niners win their first game in nearly a month. it's a fight to the finish t

after being outscored 73 to 20 in their last two games, the niners returned the favor with a dominant 3813 win over the bears today, snapping a three game losing streak and keeping those faint playoff hopes just barely alive. probably the best first half of the season for the 40 niners, outscoring chicago 24 zero. brock purdy threw two touchdowns to jauan jennings, who caught a levi's leap there. george kittle had 138 receiving yards. isaac aranda also scored in the defense, allowed just

four total yards. they outgained the bears by 315, the largest margin in the nfl this season. good vibes heading into a thursday night showdown against the la rams. >> have you ever been a part of a performance where you allowed four total yards to a team in the first half? >> no. that's great defense. that's great defense. the goal is we're going to carry that to thursday. and for the rest of our games we have the players. >> we have the playmakers. we have the play calling. we have everything to win games. but like we have to do it out of desperation. when you're playing desperate and you're playing like, hey, if we don't win this game, our season potentially is over. that desperation fuels guys in different ways, and it's just how you take that and how you channel that energy. and i thought our guys did a great job of that today. >> college football and cal is going bowling at the l.a. bowl hosted by rob gronkowski. it's at sofi stadium, home of the rams and the chargers. they're going to take on unlv wednesday, december 18th. it's a 6:00 kickoff on our sister network espn. steph curry scored a game high 30 points tonight in the win over minnesota, including

this third quarter buzzer beater. now earlier in the week steph and his wife ayesha returned to oakland for the 12th annual christmas with the curry's. messages. joy. so when you woke up this morning, how much joy did you have and what did it look like when you saw this winter wonderland out here in oakland? >> when i woke up this morning, i did have joy, but i think that was, you know, amplified for sure. when we stepped out of the car and saw everything that's been a culmination of a year of work, to see the kids really engaging and really excited about what they're doing, i think is just fantastic. >> it's a well-oiled machine and you can see the results and the energy when you come to a day like this, not only the time that people spent to make things happen, but just the appreciation from everybody who's here on just what it means, not just for the community, but for the kids and

teachers and families. >> it means the world. >> maybe the biggest thing that we that we launched this year is a commitment to provide, you know, tens of thousands of oakland students with free professional tutoring support to help them become great readers over the next several years. it's part of our effort to just make sure oakland kids have access to the resources and support and love that they need, and that they deserve. >> i'm a new dad. you guys are welcome. number four congratulations. do you have any tips for a young dad over here on the holidays? first season? like something i should be doing, something i shouldn't be doing. >> you just got to take. >> take the notes from mom and make sure you can be the biggest supporter as possible. you know, obviously, do the holiday season to realize how much mom's caring in terms of taking care of the little ones and just got to be all right with a little, little less sleep. you got to redefine what it means to be energized on a day to day. >> so. >> but like, i know you

experienced this. the best job in the world, to say the least. and it's so rewarding, fulfilling every single day. >> obviously, the nba cup, you guys are in it. what does it mean to you? is it another accolade, another trophy, another potential banner? is it getting your teammates some extra money? like what's the motivation behind the nba cup this time around? >> you want to play high stakes basketball. you look forward to that during the playoffs. this is kind of a nice test run, if you will, and a good opportunity for us. >> basketball is always high stakes for you. it could be like a bag of popcorn and you're still going to compete at the level you do and we want to win for sure. >> all right, abc seven sports, sponsored by river rock casino dion. >> all right chris thanks. before we leave you tonight, we do want to get to some breaking news coming out of the east bay. take a look at your screen right now. the chp has just shut down part of highway 24 in orinda as it investigates a shooting on the road there. this all happened just after 1030 tonight. this is on the eastbound side near wilder road. we want to take a live look now
