Let’s go on another adventure with Fire Marshal Dave as he plans and inspects another new community opening soon to Hillsborough.

Part of the process prior to today, Dave has joined in on several planning meetings with the Construction Site Manager as well as other agencies such as Fire sub code, engineers, and the building department. Within those meetings, all agencies bring their input to meet codes, promote safety, and make the new neighborhood pleasing to the eye. As the construction goes along visits happen by these different departments to ensure work is going as planned, and if things need slight tweaks, now is the time to make those changes.

Today, Dave and our firehouse staff visited the construction site to plan for where Fire Department signage will be placed, review the layout of the apartments, and make sure that the landscaping doesn’t interfere with us navigating the neighborhood with our big fire trucks!

We ran into minor issues and with the rapport that Dave has built over time with the Manager, he was very receptive and knows that we are looking out for everyone’s safety, and will have the issues fixed in no time! Just another day in the life of a Fire Marshal!

Still some haze hanging as air quality is worse today than yesterday. Stay inside if you are able.

Also note we are still in Stage 3 restrictions for brush and wildfires. Always stay safe and be vigilant about disposing cigarettes and ash.

While trying to prevent our own brush and wildfires, there have been lots of smoke detected in areas nearby. It’s from Canada, due to wind directions, the smoke has banked down in our area. Please be patient with our dispatchers and fire companies as they sort through calls that are just smells of smoke vs. calls where flames are seen. ... See MoreSee Less
