San Francisco Firefighters Local 798 is honored to present “The Future of the SFFD: We Are in This Together.” In 2019, San Francisco Firefighters and Paramedics responded to nearly 154,000 emergency calls for service – the highest annual call volume in the history of our Department. 2020 has been defined by the global COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide protests, impacting every aspect of our lives, including our work and how we go about protecting ourselves, our families, and the people of San Francisco. During these challenging times, we continue to respond to structure fires, emergency medical calls, and potentially catastrophic incidents, like the 4-alarm fire at Pier 45. These events underscore the need to secure funding and resources to support the work of our Firefighters serving on the front lines. Local 798 has been an integral part of the fabric of the City of San Francisco and we care about our collective future. This publication illustrates the critical needs of our brave Firefighters and Paramedics.
