🚒🔥 Community Strong! Regional Partnerships in Action!

October 20, 2026 – Alameda County Fire Department Crew 8 responded to a mutual aid request for the Panoramic Fire along the Oakland-Berkeley border, working alongside the Oakland Fire Department, Berkeley Fire Department, and East Bay Regional Park District Fire Department.

As we recognize the 35th anniversary of the 1991 Oakland-Berkeley Hills Firestorm, today’s response serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of wildfire preparedness, vegetation management, and strong regional partnerships.

Together, we remain committed to protecting lives, property, and the communities we proudly serve.

DROP, COVER & HOLD ON!

On October 15, 2026, Alameda County Firefighters joined Alameda County Sheriff’s deputies and members of the San Lorenzo Senior Coffee Club for the Great California ShakeOut. The San Lorenzo Homes Association organized the event.

The exercise was a great opportunity to practice earthquake preparedness together and reinforce the importance of knowing what to do when the shaking starts.

Earthquake preparedness senior style!

Preparedness starts with practice!
