firefighters that operating truck 15 in east baltimore and the company operating squad 11 near john hopkins bellview are no more. those firefighters have all been reassigned to other fire stations and to ensure all communities will be covered, several trucks will be rerouted. >> i just want people to know when they call 911, they're going to get the same service. >> we're going to fight to keep that open forever. >> reporter: from the beginning, the fire department denied the closure. during last week's massive storm those three companies were responsible for 57 calls in just 24 hours. >> that tells me it's out of hand. and again i know that was emergency situations after a storm but when is the next one coming? >> reporter: the fire union president says he hasn't given up hope that the closed fire stations will be reopen but without additional funding that probably won't happen. >> no fire fighters will lose their jobs as a result of this restructuring. >>> one of d.c.'s tourists attractions remains closed and the washington monument may stay closed till 2013. seems like last year's earthquake caus
