The San Francisco Fire Commission held its regular meeting on September 24, 2025, at City Hall, providing both in-person and remote participation options for the public. The meeting commenced at 5 PM, with attendees given the opportunity to provide public comments for up to three minutes on any relevant topic.
The meeting began with a roll call, confirming the presence of key members, including President Marcy Frazier and Chief of Department Dean Crispin. Vice President Paula Collins and Commissioner Armee Morgan were noted as excused from the meeting.
A significant moment in the meeting was the reading of the Ramaytush Ohlone land acknowledgment. This statement recognized the Fire Commission's presence on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone people, honoring their role as the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula. The acknowledgment emphasized respect for the ancestors and the ongoing responsibilities of the Ramaytush Ohlone as caretakers of the land.
During the general public comment segment, attendees were invited to address the commission on matters within its jurisdiction. One speaker approached the podium, expressing frustration about the lack of a meeting the previous day, indicating a desire for more consistent communication from the commission.
The meeting underscored the Fire Commission's commitment to community engagement and recognition of indigenous rights, setting a tone of respect and inclusivity as it continues its work in San Francisco.
