Today, members of the San Francisco Fire Department participated in the sports tournament, where public safety teams from local, state, federal, and armed services compete against one another in various events, including baseball, basketball, and marksmanship competitions. These events focus on building networking skills, sharing knowledge, and fostering teamwork. Together, these efforts contribute to a stronger and more resilient San Francisco while also providing some fun.

The San Francisco Fire Department’s elite basketball team, likely second only to the Warriors, won the Basketball competition. Congratulations to the San Francisco Fire Department basketball team!

Firefighters utilize roof ventilation as a tactical strategy to create an escape route for smoke, heat, and toxic gases, thereby enhancing visibility, mitigating risks such as backdraft and flashover, and facilitating the location of victims and targeted fire attack, ultimately impacting the operational outcome.

This critical process entails cutting a hole in the roof, typically utilizing a chainsaw, to establish a flow path. It is imperative that this task be executed with meticulous coordination and adherence to stringent safety protocols, including sounding the roof to assess its structural integrity and utilizing roof ladders to ensure a stable work platform.

The fire took roughly an hour to contain. provided traffic control.

CAL FIRE Dozer 1741 built a control line. PG&E responded as well.

The cause is under investigation. This fire burned just more than 23 acres.

Thank you to all who assisted with this fire.

Also, thank you to for not only covering our stations while we were battling this fire, but also for coming to help us with the actual firefight.

Relative humidity was 60% percent in the area at the time with a light breeze.

This vegetation is still very receptive to fire even though we’ve had some rain. The coyote brush fully burned as you can see in the video. October is the peak time for fire activity on the coast.

Staying busy protecting our community. Yesterday just after 11am, Richmond firefighters were sent to the 4100 block of Miflin Ave. in El Sobrante for a residential structure fire. First arriving crews were met with smoke and flames coming from the first and second floor windows of the residence. With the teamwork of additional arriving resources the flames were brought under control within 20 min. This was the second fire at the vacant residence in the past year. Luckily there were no injuries. Richmond firefighters are working hard to not only serve the residents of our great city, but assist adjoining communities as well in their time did need.
