SAN FRANCISCO FIRE DEPARTMENT MEDIA

The San Francisco Fire Department has completed a technical rescue of 1 person at the War Memorial San Francisco today in the City’s Richmond District. Units from Battalion 7, Rescue 1 and CHP Air OPs worked together to successfully extract, treat and transport to an area hospital.

SFFD launched the 100,000 Strong Hands-Only CPR Campaign during EMS Week 2026, with the goal of teaching 100,000 San Franciscans how to perform Hands-Only CPR. Our goal during the first week of the campaign was to train 900 community members, representing the reality that approximately 900 people in the United States die every single day from sudden out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Over the course of four community outreach events, at the Exploratorium, sidewalk CPR training at the University of San Francisco, Union Square, and the Civic Center Farmers Market, SFFD members, in collaboration with the Asian Firefighters Association and the San Francisco Fire Department Reserves, trained 971 community members in Hands-Only CPR, surpassing our initial goal. That means 971 more community members are now prepared to respond during a cardiac emergency before first responders arrive. Each participant received a sequentially numbered 100,000 Strong sticker, symbolizing their role in building a citywide network of trained community responders. Every sticker represents one more person empowered to step in, start compressions, and help save a life. #EMSWEEK
