I'm honored to be endorsed by Councilmember Susan Wengraf -- who has dedicated herself to serving our district for 30+ years -- and @BerkeleyProFire because they know I'll work around-the-clock to address the wildfire threat in our district.

[Brent Blackaby @brentblackaby]

Very proud of this key endorsement. @BerkeleyProFire are the best of the best.

Happy Labor Day! Thanks to @BerkeleyProFire and @smwlocal104 for endorsing my campaign. I will be a strong advocate for workers on the Berkeley City Council!

WATCH: Huge flames during Saturday's fire in Berkeley, near Gilman and Eastshore. It happened overnight around 2 a.m. Firefighters were still cleaning up Saturday morning. (You may have seen the Nixle.) We are working to get more details but @BerkeleyProFire shared this video.

Berkeley firefighters rescued a hiker Friday who slipped off a trail into a creek just below a small waterfall. Fire crews “converged on the scene to treat, package, and extricate the patient using a rescue rope system,” @BerkeleyProFire said. They shared this video.

As our beautiful city grows more vertically and with increasing density, firefighters have been struggling to keep up with demand. Our stations are in disrepair, our staffing model must retool in order to serve Berkeley’s new skyline, and our services must keep up.
