San Francisco Fire Department is proud to recognize seventy-five members at this year’s Meritorious Award ceremony, honoring incidents that showcase the courage of our firefighters, paramedics, and crisis team members.

This year’s honorees include crews who rescued victims from structure fires including one rescue of a physically disabled resident, and a downtown high-rise fire that required multiple apparatus and saved dozens of lives.

At a multi-alarm fire, crews rescued one of their own, a firefighter caught in danger while battling the fire. Offshore, rescue swimmers boarded a pitching vessel in the surf at Ocean Beach to save five people trapped aboard.

On land, paramedics decisively executed a rescue at a three-way incident, placing themselves in danger to save a life, while crisis team members placed themselves in harm’s way to rescue an individual experiencing a severe behavioral crisis.

Crews also carried out an intense rescue of a person struck by a vehicle, who is alive today, and a dramatic save of a resident and two dogs from a house fire earlier this year.

Congratulations to all seventy-five honorees. Your bravery reflects the very best of the San Francisco Fire Department.

Last night , Fire Chief Dean Crispen was honored to attend the 10th Anniversary of the Rose Pak Community Fund.

For a decade, the Fund has carried forward Rose Pak’s fearless legacy of advocacy for San Francisco’s Chinatown and Chinese American community supporting affordable housing, healthcare access, education, and the next generation of leaders through the Rose Pak Memorial Scholarship.

Rose Pak believed in fighting for the community you serve. That is a value the San Francisco Fire Department shares deeply. Our Chinatown community is family to SFFD, and we are proud to stand with the leaders, families, and students who continue to make her vision a reality.

Congratulations to the Rose Pak Community Fund on 10 years of impact and service.

Today, September 15, the San Francisco Los Bomberos are proud to celebrate the rich culture, traditions, and contributions of the Latino community within the San Francisco Fire Department and throughout our city.

What better way to celebrate than bringing people together around food, family, culture, and community?

Today’s special event featured a hands-on lesson in making traditional Nicaraguan Nacatamales, sharing a beloved tradition and the stories behind it.

We were honored to have San Francisco Fire Chief Dean Crispin, who is half Nicaraguan, join us in making Nacatamales, along with District Attorney Brooke Jenkins and community activist Roberto Hernandez.

This celebration is about more than making tamales — it’s about honoring our heritage, celebrating the diversity within the San Francisco Fire Department, building bridges throughout our community, and giving back.

As part of today’s celebration, Los Bomberos are also proud to support the San Francisco Mission Food Hub and help provide resources to members of our community who need them most.

From our families to our firehouses and from our neighborhoods to City Hall, Los Bomberos are proud of our Latino heritage and proud to serve San Francisco.
