Day 10 the brave women of @TheCityofSac Fire Dept. These ladies (not all are in the photo) risk their lives to keep us safe. We need more women in fire services, but today is a great moment to celebrate these courageous women who are blazing a trail for the women who will follow.

Happy Birthday Sacramento Fire Engine 1! Founded March 6, 1851 as Confidence Engine Company Number 1, it is the oldest continually operating fire company in the West. 167 unbroken years of service to Sacramento citizens! #ThrowbackThursday#TBT
Some more photos from our crews working in unusual conditions yesterday. We we know firefighters from the Rocky Mountain and Northeast states just laugh at us when they see these photos 😀. But they weren't here for #GRAUPOCALYPSE2018
Whether we are calling it hail, graupel, sleet, or snow: There was enough of it on the ground in South Natomas for the crew at Engine 15 to build a SnowFireMan!
Engine 6 crew rescued a 94 year old woman from a burning home last night. The fire started around 1am at a house in the 4400 block of 8th Avenue, and was controlled shortly after. The woman was transported to the hospital with minor injuries, cause of fire is under investigation.
Thank you to @kcranews for coming out to Station 4 and doing a story about our "Captain" Mike Frates! We are proud to share the story of this remarkable man and his volunteer service to the citizens of Sacramento.

"Captain Mike" Frates, son of a prior SFD Captain, has special needs. He has been visiting our firehouses since he was a boy. At 70 he still visits Station 4 every Saturday to wipe down the rig & help the crew be ready to respond to calls. Thank you for your service Captain Mike!
Yesterday afternoon, @metrofirepio firefighter Tyler Craft and SFD firefighter Ryan Gardner touched down after four days off the ground. This year's Boot Drive raised a record $166,000 for the @ffburninstitute. Thank you to all who came out and donated!
