On 9/11 I reflect that every life is worth risking the ultimate sacrifice. My oath and duty demand it and I believe in a common thread of humanity to protect and support each other is integral to our survival. To serve and sacrifice is beauty. Pic by Erin Robinson #NeverForget

Private ambulance companies are reducing numbers because they can’t profit from this pandemic. But your public employees are here, 100% of the time, because you matter. Because we swore an oath. We don’t profit.

@BARTAficianado @KS_Sanjose Indeed. And responsible for the health and safety of 120k people. We are here and responding to the needs of the community. Fire, EMS, HAZMAT, Emergency Management, Disaster Preparedness and response, water rescue ...that’s a hell of a bargain. Thanks for pointing that out!

@DaytonPubPolicy Totally. Dialogue is good!

@DaytonPubPolicy At this moment of global pandemic, the surge is coming and we must all prepare to increase staffing and availability, not reduce and cut because this month is slow. It’s not a jobs program, it’s ramping up to face unprecedented tragedy.

We don’t have bonuses and perks. We’re just here. We are here. We will be here. Remember that. We persist.

My Firefighters and a ALL the healthcare workers around the world are putting themselves in the path of this virus to help you, your parents, your children, your disabled, and your most vulnerable members of the world....

I was bored.

Feel a bit nervous after that earthquake? Now is the perfect time to make sure you have shoes 👟 and a flashlight 🔦 under your bed.

Drop. Cover. Hold on. If you're in bed, stay there until the shaking stops. Have shoes under your bed always. #earthquake

We received multiple reports at 5pm that power returned to impacted areas in Berkeley, though PG&E has not confirmed complete restoration.

In addition, the red flag warning for high fire danger was also lifted at 5pm.

For questions about power restoration, contact @PGE4Me.
