Bay and ferry companies carry millions of passengers per year.
Cruise companies carry thousands of passengers per year, in & out of
the Bay.

RESPONSE TIME
• Both water and land
operations affected
• Originally, most calls
came from the GG bridge
side of the Bay.
• The City is creating new
development on the
South East side of the
City and Waterfront
• A Southward move will
reduce response time to
this area
• Emergency access lane

DISASTER OPS
• Arena would act as a shelter for
thousands of people in case of
emergency.
• SFFD would always be at scene
location
• Navy Hospital Ship USNS Mercy could
tie up to deep water berth and offer
aide to victims housed in Arena
• Could also serve as transit hub
• 9/11: many victims were transported to
New Jersey via water
• The Fire House could serve as a main
command post during a major
emergency
PIER 22 ½ MUSEUM
Current Museum: FS 10
• SFFD has a rich history and many
artifacts

and outgrowing the space

museum – it is a historic building in
a picturesque location with ample
foot traffic
