Day in the Life: SFFD Tribute

by Mister SF on 08/31/2008

Dateline: USF, McAllister Street near Masonic Avenue, where Mister SF and Jeff react quickly after walking onto the scene of a neighborhood building fire. After calling 911, we rousted building residents and neighbors. The San Francisco Fire Department arrived within minutes to put the fire out. No one was injured, and it was all over before brunch. Did you know a “fire truck” carries ladders, while a “fire engine” pumps water?
