In local news, safety concerns have led Encinitas firefighters to relocate from the city's oldest fire station,
built in the 1950s, which is prone to collapse during an earthquake.
Encinitas Mayor Tony Kranz noted that the facility, originally a county firefighting station,
was deemed structurally deficient following recent earthquakes in Los Angeles County.
Firefighters have now moved to Station 3, about one and a half miles away.
Encinitas Fire Department Chief Josh Gordon acknowledged this relocation may delay response times,
but emphasized that they will still meet the department's standard of eight and a half minutes.
Mayor Kranz stated, firefighters should not be in a building that may fall down on their head,
as the city explores alternatives for the old station.
Now on to sports.

Let's talk science.
The debate surrounding Pluto's status as a planet remains unresolved since its demotion in 2006
by the International Astronomical Union.
The definition of a planet has evolved from ancient times,
where wandering stars included the sun and the moon, to more modern classifications.
The discovery of Eris in 2005 prompted the IAU to define planets,
leading to the conclusion that Pluto, failing to clear its orbit, is a dwarf planet.
While some argue for a clearer definition, the complexity of our solar system suggests
that these imperfect classifications may need to be revised as we learn more.
