SDFD

Imagine bringing your mom to work with you every day! We asked some City employees, whose moms also work at the City, what they admire most about their mom. ♥️ We're not crying, you're crying!

Happy #Mothers Day to all of the incredible moms and mother figures out there — especially those who serve at SDFD and the many behind the scenes who support our firefighters, lifeguards, dispatchers, and personnel every day. We appreciate and celebrate you today and always. ♥️

Congratulations to Paramedic Class 10! 🔥After completing months of rigorous training, clinical rotations & field internships through our accredited program, they have the gained the skills & experience needed to deliver advanced emergency medical care throughout our region. #EMS
