SFFD

So, today I was in my neighbor hood exploring the fire houses that respond to calls that are in the upper and lower Haight areas. I found out that the calls are divided between three different local fire stations: station 12, station 21 and station 6. Its crazy that there isnt like one central firehouse for the district and with the volume of calls they respond to you would think they would have a station right on haight street haha One of the firefighters that I talked to told me that so many of the calls that they respond to are dealing with the local haight street junkies and homeless people. When I was at station 6 they got a call for a heart attack down the street and it was cool to see how they are out at the drop of a dime and when they come back they are just so casual and ready for the next call. All the firefighters I met where extremely nice and welcoming which I feel is the general vibe of my hood.... hell, they even gave me milk and cookies!
