From the Oceanside Fire Department Facebook page:

All Oceanside firehouses are currently manned by crews. Conditions are extremely bad. Do not drive and remove cars from the streets! Please help us help you.

If you have a fire hydrant near your home PLEASE clear 3 feet in all directions around it, this simple act can make all the difference in the world in the event of a fire. Do not drive into flooded areas or enter flooded basements and ALWAYS stay clear of down power lines.
