#yoursffd honors 10 years of communication, collaboration, and commitment to the people of San Francisco. This is a very quick overview of the PIO unit and its work, history, and tradition.
⚠️ BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT ISSUED FOR SAN FRANCISCO COASTLINE ⚠️
The National Weather Service warns of dangerous ocean conditions throughout the weekend due to strong northern winds generating rough surf, powerful rip currents, longshore currents, and sneaker waves.
🌊 Stay off rocks and jetties 🌊 Never turn your back on the ocean 🌊 Keep a safe distance from the water’s edge
Dangerous conditions will impact beaches and water activities across the region. Use extreme caution if visiting the coast. #SanFrancisco #BeachHazards #SneakerWaves #RipCurrent

Today, SFFD and SFPD got to be Honor Guard and see these military veterans from WWII, Korean War, and Vietnam as they fly to Washington DC. Honor Flights mission and goal is to transport veterans to Washington, DC to visit those memorials dedicated to honor their service and sacrifices. Helping every single veteran in America, willing and able of getting on a plane or a bus to visit their memorial. #SFFD
Since San Francisco is surrounded by water on 3 sides, today 18 SFFD members (23 last week) were introduced to cold water while wearing wet suits and using fins. This is after they passed an initial certification of 500 Meters in the pool within 12 minutes. Today’s distance was the same and the rescue board, free diving, and rescue scenarios were recreated to help the SFFD better serve the SF community closing visitors and those that enjoy the water. Several instructors have extensive life guard experience and a couple “Big Wave” surfers and military amphibious training. SFFD has over 275 rescue qualified swimmers throughout the department. Those members are required to maintain their certification to work at any of the fire stations that border the water #SFFD
At 4:14 AM 5/12/26 a 1 alarm fire on the 500 block of Leavenworth St broke out in a 7 story apartment building. The fire originated on the 3rd floor and units quickly extinguished the fire and contained it to the apartment of origin. The cause of the fire was an overheated clothes washer. No injuries and 1 person displaced from the unit. #SFFD
1 alarm fire on Coso St. 5/11/26 dispatched at 3:03 PM. Crews arrived quickly to extinguish a fire on a deck caused by smoking. As seen in the video, access to the top deck was difficult but crews kept the fire from extending into the home. No injuries or displacement. #SFFD
San Francisco Fire Station 3.🫡
San Francisco Fire Station 3 is one of my all time favorites. Located in the Tenderloin, 3’s has been #1 for busiest firehouses in the US for a multitude of years. The fire station’s main level houses Engine 3 & Truck 3. Behind the apparatus floor is the Communications Room, gear lockers, and day room. On the mezzanine level, you’ll find one brass pole, the kitchen/dining area, a picture window overlooking the app bay, followed by the Officers quarters with a bay window facing the alley in the rear. On the third floor, there’s a large bunk room, bathroom/showers, and two very tall fire poles to reach the bay. The station also has a cool “Juliet” balcony for raising the flag. Ty Ryan Blankenship.
05/09/2026: San Francisco Fire Department was on scene of a cliff rescue near battery Crosby. One person had an injury on the trail and was unable to walk.
Crews initiated a rescue basket to carry the person up to the Street level to have them transported to the hospital via fire department ambulance. #yoursffd
