@bmitori @SFFDPIO @SPARKsocialSF We held three @StopTheBleed sessions a few weeks ago with many good reviews from our students, will try to bring them back soon!

@SFFDPIO @SPARKsocialSF @SFFDNERT Do you know of any stop the bleed type classes available to citizens in SF?

We are excited to be at @SPARKsocialSF at 601 Mission Bay Blvd North today for the annual @SFFDNERT disaster safety and preparedness drill. Media is welcome and encouraged to join us:) The event starts at 9:20 and runs through 1 PM.

Chief of Department Nicholson @sfbos president @AaronPeskin and Fire Commissioner Nakajo provide opening remarks acknowledging the over 40 thousand trained @SFFDNERT members and added safety through resiliency this program offers to #SF

We had a fantastic training day with @SFFDNERT @AaronPeskin #SFFD #SFFDEMS @SF_emergency at the annual #NERT disaster training drill. Hundreds of our over 40,000 trained community members practiced disaster response and mitigation skills previously learned under the supervision of #SFFD training staff. A few NERTs were recognized for accomplishments benefitting the advancement of a safer community. #NERTS are volunteers; if you know or see one, consider thanking them. If you are interested in becoming a NERT, more information can be found here: sf-fire.org/nert We train with and as a community with one common goal: your safety.

@AaronPeskin Thank you for participating in the NERT Citywide Drill, Supervisor Peskin! Your support meant a lot to our team.

@AnastasiaAshman Team Bravo clearly understood the assignment! 👏👏👏

Congratulations to everyone participated in today’s NERT Citywide Drill! Wonderful day of practice, sunshine and teamwork. 🙌

1 alarm fire 689 Kansas St. Avoid the area of the 600 block. #SFFD #Yoursffd This is now a 2nd alarm fire

As our SoCal neighbors prep for #TropicalStormHilary let's take stock of our own preparedness. Do you have 3 days of water & food for everyone (pets, too!)? How current is your emergency plan? Do you have emergency supplies organized & ready? Learn more at sf72.org

Do NERTs let the threat of bad weather keep us down? Certainly not! Damage Assessment forms tabletop exercise at Bravado Lounge and a walk to SFFD Station 8 is the perfect Saturday activity on a maybe rainy day.

Today is NERT Day at DOT, NERTs have advanced training every 3rd Saturday. While NERTs are in classrooms busy with #StopTheBleed and #MapYourNeighborhood, SFFD’s 133rd Recruit Class is practicing ladder training - with music. It’s a busy and gorgeous day at the Dept of Training!

@MykeyB420 It’s in the Resource Library now.

@MykeyB420 We are firming up a location, and will notify everyone soon!

We appreciate our student in NERT class who, on the first day of class, was evacuated from this building during the nighttime incident. They called to tell us that their NERT training helped them to cope with the emergency. 👏👏👏 We're glad you are safe! sfstandard.com/2024/02/22/san…
