Making the best of a bad situation. Earlier this week Richmond firefighters were sent to a multi-vehicle accident on the Richmond-San Rafael bridge. With one of the vehicles rolled over, all lanes were blocked making typical fire and EMS response extremely difficult. Luckily, Utility 61, a purpose made emergency response unit was able to respond in the closed bike/third lane. U61 arrived first at scene and was able to safely transport the injured drivers off the bridge to a waiting ambulance on the San Rafael end of the bridge. U61 was made possible by a partnership between the Richmond Fire Dept. and CalTrans. The unit is stored at the toll plaza Cal Trans yard and can be quickly staffed with our members for a response such as this. Richmond firefighters are here@to keep you safe.

I-80 has been keeping the members of E64 and T64 busy. Yesterday evening the 64 crews were first sent to the area of 80 near the 580 merge for a 2 vehicle accident. One victim was trapped in the vehicle and required extrication. The patient was transported to a local trauma center with severe injuries. Then earlier this morning around 4am, the same companies responded to the area of 80 near the Carlson exits for another 2 vehicle accident. Both vehicles had major damage with one vehicle on fire. Luckily there were only minor injuries. You can rest assured that Richmond firefighters will be there in your time of need. Richmond Firefighters Local 188

The only thing quicker than the amount of time it took for Richmond firefighters to extinguish yesterday’s structure fire, is how fast you will lose your nozzle if you aren’t ready to go to work. Our members were sent to the area of Carlson Blvd. and Ohio Ave. for a structure fire. E64 arrived first at scene to find the building already well involved in fire. The flames were brought under control within 10 minutes without issue. Richmond firefighters are proud to serve this great city and keep you safe.
