As temperatures rise across the Bay Area, keep an eye on young children & have a safety gate in place if you have your windows open to cool off. Heat deaths and accidents are preventable. More information at sf.gov/heat

If you’re coming to San Francisco to beat the heat in the rest of the Bay Area, remember that riptides and sneaker waves can make our beaches dangerous places to swim. We recommend avoiding the water, especially on crowded days.

This year during #emsweek26 we recognize the people behind the patch and commit a collective responsibility to invest in their mental health and personal growth. Every year our #SF911 dispatchers set up an EMS Week Open House for our EMS partners to stop by de-stress and grab a snack.

A festive EMS Week appreciation station inside an emergency operations center features a blue-and-white balloon arch framing a “Happy EMS Week” sign. Long tables are filled with snacks, drinks, fruit, and grab-and-go treats for EMS personnel. Dispatch workstations and monitors surround the setup, highlighting a workplace celebration honoring emergency medical staff.

Behind them, tables are covered with chips, candy, drinks, and treats prepared for staff appreciation. Computer monitors and emergency communications equipment are visible in the background, creating a warm behind-the-scenes look at first responders being celebrated.

Yesterday we kicked off #EMSWeek26 with the San Francisco Emergency Medical Services Agency's 2026 EMS Awards honoring our city's EMS professionals and the important work they do in our communities.

Dispatcher Timothy Au. Dispatcher Award. When a caller reported an unresponsive woman foaming at the mouth, Timothy calmly guided them through CPR step-by-step until responders arrived. His steady, precise instructions helped the patient survive.

Code Tenderloin. Community Award. Code Tenderloin is the number one provider of clients to the SCOPE program and a frontline resource for medication-assisted therapy for people suffering from fentanyl addiction. Their work is a critical first step in connecting vulnerable San Franciscans to life-saving care.

Rescue Captain Jeffrey Covitz. Mary Magocsy Excellence in EMS & Disaster Leadership Award. Captain Covitz led SFFD’s response to critical incidents, including the West Portal MCI and a high-stakes confined space rescue at Ocean Beach. He pioneered field-based EMT and paramedic training — an initiative that has strengthened the SFFD Active Attacker Protocol.

SF Park Ranger Joseph Farkash. First Responder Award. While on routine patrol in Buena Vista Park, Ranger Farkash located an adult male in urgent need of emergency medical and crisis intervention. His swift, selfless response was vital in saving this individual’s life.
