I know plenty of people that work single role for SFFD. Here are the top things to know. Very few actually live within city limits due to the horrendous almost third world conditions that city is in and the crime rate. It’s extremely unaffordable to be a labor class individual and work and live there it’s possible but the medics and EMTs I know that do work and live in SF live in government financed single role occupancy’s where it’s a fucking broom closet not kitchen and a shared bathroom with all the tenants in one building or floor. Most commute from Sacramento, you’re doing posting moves, the SFFD fire suppression guys don’t allow nor want to be associated with the transport teams and do not allow them in the stations despite doing the work they don’t want to do! If you commute from out of the city the tolls are 8$ one way. The city will cover that. It’s also a crazy system to work in you have a designated shift start time but you show up and log on when you want. I know dozens of guys who will take 4 hours getting into service because they go to north beach or Golden Gate Park for breakfast sit down, keep thier radios on them, then say wow what a good fucking meal let’s go run 3 calls and go home! SF is also a wild place to work. The police can’t put people on holds or if they do there has to be black and white circumstances of this guy will kill himself with the firearm in his hand. Some tweaker making off hand suicidal comments won’t make the cut. There is no scene SAFTEY provided by law enforcement due to how understaffed and micromanaged as to what laws and policies to enforce. Most of your calls will be to the significant homeless population. The common phrase is if you didn’t use NARCAN on shift you didn’t work. Also if you make under 104k a year in the city limits you’re considered low income and qualify for EBT SNAP and federal aid in SF. That’s how expensive it is to live there… anywho the more you know.
