The San Francisco Fire Department has a new fire engine thanks to a donation from Pacific Gas and Electric Company.<\/p>\n
SFFD and PG&E announced the donation during a news conference Thursday.<\/p>\n
Fire officials said the new engine will respond to structure fires, wildfires, rescue operations and other natural disasters.<\/p>\n
Following the announcement, SFFD and PG&E held a joint training exercise on Treasure Island to improve coordination and safety during electrical incidents, such as the December blackout caused by an equipment fire at a PG&E substation.<\/p>\n
PG&E said the fire engine was donated through the city’s behested payment process, which allows money or goods to be donated to a city department or nonprofit at the direction of a city leader for governmental or charitable purposes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Francisco Fire Department has a new fire engine thanks to a donation from Pacific Gas and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":401215,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[3604,101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-401214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-pge","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=401214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/401214\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/401215"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=401214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=401214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=401214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
