The best care starts from within
When San Franciscans call 911, you deserve a fire department that is professional, prepared, and ready to serve everyone.
That is why Chief Dean Crispen is sharing how we are strengthening our department culture, ensuring every SFFD member feels safe, respected, and valued, so we can deliver the best possible care on your worst day.
San Francisco is an incredibly diverse City, and we are proud to be one of the most diverse fire departments in the nation. When our firefighters and paramedics reflect and understand the communities they serve, it builds trust, and trust saves lives.
We are investing in our people and our future through mentorship and leadership programs, through our employee affinity groups including the Asian Firefighters Association, Black Firefighters Association, Los Bomberos, United Fire Service Women, Public Safety Pride Alliance, 5 Pillars, Ner Tamid, EMS Officers Association and Veterans Association, and through youth pathways like the San Francisco Fire Youth Academy and the Mission High School Fire Science program that prepare the next generation of San Francisco firefighters, paramedics and EMTs.
To our members, thank you for your service. To our community, thank you for your trust.
