VICTIM RESCUED AFTER 7-HOUR TECHNICAL CLIFF RESCUE AT DEAD MAN’S POINT SAN FRANCISCO, CA – The San Francisco Fire Department has completed a 7-hour technical cliff rescue at Dead Man’s Point in Land’s End, Presidio. As a United States Coast Guard helicopter arrived, dense fog returned, making air rescue unsafe. With the cliff perch becoming increasingly unstable, SFFD rescue technicians developed a controlled plan with the victim in mind. The victim slid down the cliff face in a controlled descent and landed on the shoreline sustaining minor injuries. SFFD rescue swimmers were staged in the water and immediately assisted the adult victim through heavy surf to a waiting SFFD rescue boat. Rescue swimmer Paramedics evaluated and treated the victim who was taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. One SFFD rescue swimmer sustained minor, non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to the emergency room. The firefighter is expected to make a full recovery. This rescue was conducted in extreme terrain and severe weather. Crews faced: - Steep cliffside terrain with loose, unstable rock - Unstable cliffside/perch that deteriorated during the operation, creating a fall hazard for the victim and rescuers - Dense fog and changing weather that reduced visibility to near zero and repeatedly grounded air operations - Heavy brush limiting access and anchor points - Challenging surf conditions on the shoreline during extraction SFFD thanks all partner agencies for their support during this complex incident: San Francisco Police Department drone unit, United States Park Police, United States Coast Guard, and all collaborating agencies.

Today Grandparents of a new community member were moving their granddaughter into #SFSU when they accidentally rolled their vehicle. Both were transported with minor injuries. They were very concerned that their granddaughter wouldn’t get her personal belongings and moved in. We told them not to worry, we would move her in. Great work By Station 19.

We still have a shelter-in-place order for the immediate area, which remains unchanged.

On May 28, 2026, at 1:20 PM, the San Francisco Fire Department received a report of a surfer in distress at Ocean Beach near Lincoln. At the same time, an off-duty National Park Service lifeguard who was surfing in the area, along with three on-duty NPS Ocean Rescue lifeguards, noticed a local surfer waving their hands above thier head—a recognized sign of distress—just outside the surf line at Ocean Beach. They immediately swam toward the location. Upon reaching the distressed surfer, the lifeguards found an adult surfer who was face down, unconscious, and not breathing. They initiated a rescue and began life-saving measures while bringing the victim back to the shoreline. Paramedics from the San Francisco Fire Department arrived shortly afterward and continued with advanced life support care. The individual was ultimately transported to a local hospital in critical condition. The San Francisco Fire Department commended the quick actions of both the off-duty and on-duty ocean patrol lifeguards, as well as the early 911 callers, emphasizing their essential role in rescuing the surfer.

UPDATE- FIRE CONTAINED Early this morning, shortly after 3:00 AM, San Francisco firefighters responded to a fire at 50 Golden Gate, a six-story multi-residential complex located in the Tenderloin District. The firefighters executed an impressive and aggressive attack on the fire, which originated on the sixth floor, successfully preventing it from spreading to the lower floors and nearby buildings. The fire quickly escalated to a three-alarm incident, affecting the sixth floor, attic, and roof of the building. During the initial response, multiple occupants were rescued, and notably, two cats were saved during the second alarm phase. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. Over 100 firefighters, more than 50 fire apparatus, police officers, and additional city services responded to the scene. Firefighters faced challenges due to the building's old construction, which included multiple light wells, lath and plaster construction, and heavy fire conditions on the upper floors. This incident exemplified traditional, aggressive firefighting tactics, which ultimately contained the fire within the structure. Currently, 45 residents have been temporarily displaced and are being accommodated on-site in an SFMTA bus. This number is subject to change. The fire was contained by 5:30 AM, and the American Red Cross has been called in to assist. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and firefighters will remain on the scene for several hours to conduct overhaul operations. We ask that the public continue to avoid the area.

The NFL has the Super Bowl today, and #yoursffd has the Super Save! Quarterback FF/PM Jay Weber calls an audible, and KOBE is rescued by Receiver FF/EJ Nave in a stunning play! 🏈 The play starts with canine KOBE falling into the Bay and getting stuck, with nowhere to go for help, but the rescue team isn't having it. They lure him back to the bay with a clever tactic, and it's Rescue Boat 35 to the rescue! Rescue Swimmer FF/EJ Nave deployed, buoy secured, Kobe is brought back to safety! The crowd goes wild as Kobe reunites with his human companion, tired but grateful for the excellent care from #YOURSFFD and his owner. *FINAL PLAY:* Kobe's safe, sound, and home with his family. Incident closed! 😎 ——————————————————— At 2:30 PM today, the San Francisco Fire Department received multiple 911 calls about a dog that had fallen off a pier near McCovey Cove. The fire department’s land and marine rescue teams arrived swiftly and met with the owner, who reported that her dog had jumped into the water after chasing a bird. With no way to escape, the dog was swimming frantically and becoming increasingly exhausted. The SFFD Paramedic Rescue Boat 35 (RB35) operated by Firefighter/Paramedic Jay Weber, located the dog, named Kobe, underneath a pier. Using voice commands, the rescue boat was able to lure Kobe to open water and deployed a rescue swimmer FF/EJ Nave. RB35 secured a buoy around the dog and brought him back to the boat. Kobe was then reunited with his owner and received care from the SFFD and his human. He is now home safe and resting with his family. Incident closed!
