San Francisco Fire Department Station #2

Umn, thats my roommate Cat O. So, ditto. Same story. I was seriously impressed!
My favorite part of the whole thing was the ladder they hoisted to the third floor, ready to start evacuating.
Well, besides the whole «men in uniform» thing.

The SFFD is on FIRE! This weekend I have been left speechless and beyond amazement. That feeling you get when someone has just stolen your heart. And, well the SFFD sure stole my heart!
This past Saturday, I arrived to my apartment complex with an ear deafening fire alarm shriek, and a hallway filled with hazy smoke. In fear of the building burning down with my dear roomy on the top floor & my precious laptop (which is my life)…I made a run for it upstairs. As people evacuated out, I decided nothing could stop me from saving my laptop even if I risked a burnt leg & black lung.
Running back down panicking, I decided to dial 9−1−1. They picked up right away, and ask for an address, made sure everyone evacuated, & said they would send the fire department right away. Right away was seriously RIGHT away. Two minutes after hanging up, 5 fire trucks showed up including an ambulance. The firemen wasted no time to pull out ladders and a hose. Even the Fire Marshall showed up!
Impressive. Just plain impressive. Turns out, a little old asian lady was cookin up a storm in her apartment that massively set off the entire fire alarm system. Even after intense evacuation, a fireman came out stating «She’s still in there cooking!!» Haha.
Despite it being nothing major, I am thankful for their quick response and dedication. Saturday reassured me that if there ever is a fire (knock on wood), the SFFD is more than reliable.
I didn’t think I’d ever say this, but I love you fire department.
Thank you!
