Fire Chief’s Report
Chief’s Report: January 2025-March 2025
Significant Calls
•February 13, Structure Fire, B St. Fully involved detached garage living space. Truck 1 found one victim (fatality) just inside the front door. The fire was contained in the structure of origin and quickly extinguished. Unfortunately, the occupancy did not have a smoke detector, possibly contributing to failed self-evacuation and a delayed 911 activation. Please continue providing smoke detectors to our residents when you notice a need. •February 16, Structure Fire, Tyrell. Garage fire in a single-story apartment complex. The fire was in the garage with a possible extension to the attic.
Crews contained the fire to the room of origin, all damage was contained to the garage, and the residents could maintain occupancy. •February 19, Gas Investigation, West Winton and Allison, large (100,000 sq ft) concrete tilt-up with a broken gas line. The gas leak occurred several days prior to our response, filling the occupancy and creating the potential for a catastrophic event. •February 22, Missing Person, Campus, Engine 8, and UTV2 assisted HPD by searching Ward Creek (Durham and Oaks) for a missing 12-year-old male. The child's mother found him.
•February 27, Commercial Fire Alarm, E4, T7, and B2 responded to a building alarm at approximately 12:30 am. E4 discovers water coming from the bottom of a door on the alpha side of the building. E4 forced entry to find a partial roof collapse that had sheared a large sprinkler pipe. Crews secured water to the structure and contacted the responsible and the Building Department. 5 purlins collapsed between a beam and the bravo exterior wall.
The responsible states that a roofing job has been ongoing for the past few days. •March 1, Shooting, Foothill, Three GSW victims on scene and fourth self-transport to Eden. E1, S2, E9 •March 7, Vehicle Accident, Hayward Blvd. E5 found three vehicles involved with multiple patients requiring extrication. BC 1, T1, and S2 were added to the response. One DOA, four trauma activations, and three extricated. Five patients were transported to Children's, Eden, andWashington. Great job by E5, E9, S2, T1 and BC1.
