Emergency!

Emergency!

"“For somebody whose dream was going to be a firefighter, their dream was they are going to be rushing into burning buildings, and they get into it, and they’re like, ‘What do you mean I only put out a fire once a month?’ “ said Capt. Niels Tangherlini, a veteran paramedic."

"Advances in fire-safe construction, among other things, have contributed to a national shift in fire departments away from fighting infernos and toward responding to medical emergencies."

If SF actually will spend $230 M on homeless services, that would be $3.4K per person, per year.
