Today, we joined Battalion 5, which encompasses Stations 5, 10, 12, and 22.
Part II places each apparatus within its own designated district, challenging crews to make critical operational decisions, assess conditions, and implement strategies that test their ability to carry out the Department’s mission during an actual disaster.
These exercises are designed to strengthen leadership, coordination, situational awareness, and decision-making under challenging conditions.
Preparedness today means a stronger response tomorrow.
The San Francisco Fire Department remains committed to protecting our communities and ensuring our members are ready when disaster strikes
At approximately 1702 hours, the San Francisco Fire Department was notified of a male individual on the bridge who appeared to be preparing to jump. The initial notification came from a private ambulance company whose personnel were on the bridge and actively monitoring the individual.
At approximately 1705 hours, the individual jumped from the bridge into the water.
Fire Department resources were initially dispatched to the bridge, along with Fireboat 3 and Rescue Boat 35 from Station 35 to conduct a water rescue.
Rescue Boat 35 quickly located the individual. With assistance from the United States Coast Guard, the individual was recovered from the water and transported by boat to Station 35, where life-saving measures were initiated.
At approximately 1745 hours, the individual was transported to a local hospital for further medical treatment.
There is no further information available at this time.
