The #SanFrancisco Police Department announced Wednesday that they had made an #arrest a day earlier in connection with the incident, which has officially been deemed an #arson by the #SFFD. 36-year-old #MitchellHoyt of San Francisco was re-arrested Tuesday on suspicion of arson, and for causing a #fire to an inhabited structure, after he was already in custody at SF County Jail on an unrelated matter.

The #SFPD Arson Task Force linked Hoyt to the incident, though they did not reveal how. And, the SFPD said, "there is no probable cause to arrest Hoyt for a #hatecrime" at this time.

Charges in the case were expected to be filed by the district attorney's office today (Thursday).

#Hillel House, which serves #Jewish #students from across the city of San Francisco and not just at #SFState, was founded in 1982 and has been fully closed since the fire, and the final #Shabbat of the semester was canceled." 👀

A #ThrowbackThursday photo from 13 years ago when one of the Victorians on Cole Street in #SanFrancisco caught on fire and was very quickly extinguished by #SFFD.

you've read about the #robotaxi that struck a fire truck, after which the cruise gm whined that the fire truck was on the wrong side of the road (with sirens and lights, duh, that's the point). and outside lands. here's something else fun: #sffd's 55 'incidents' in which AVs impeded fire equipment, mostly since may, summarized by @MLNow.

nothing will stop #cruise and #waymo until they kill someone. maybe not even then. there's money to be made.

I've left the scene at 8th and Irving but it was a very serious fire affecting not just the apt building but neighboring buildings and businesses. Glad to hear that people got out OK . Our city has a lot of problems but at least the SF Fire Dept still shows up when you need them. #SFFD #SanFrancisco #InnerSunset

This beauty is #CampMather’s vintage #firetruck. It led Camp’s aforementioned Independence Day bicycle parade. The #Ford #pickup is fully functional and a mission-critical part of protecting Camp against wildfire. #SFRecPark #SFFD

In the 80’s, the #SFFD used to do a controlled burn on @MtDavidson_SF every year. My mom would make me stay inside for the day, and I’d watch from the window.

Josué Contreras, neighborhood hero who saved an old couple from a burning building in January, is now pursuing his dream of joining the San Francisco Fire Department.

His partner started fundraising for educational costs which you can find in the link below.

Best of luck to Josué!

I’m working with a group of artists to paint portraits of San Francisco firefighters to be sold at auction to benefit their cancer prevention foundation. This is Chief Howes. Oil, 14 x 11“. #MastoArt #portrait #oilpainting #contemporaryportrait #SanFrancisco #SFFD #cancerawareness

Catalytic converter thieves have decimated San Francisco city-owned Priuses and Ford trucks with repair times stretching into months.

City workers from across many departments have been prevented from doing their jobs which has affected services to the general public.

Wow, the #SFFD's public information officer lied and said a crew that parked in a protected bike lane was responding to an emergency when they... weren't. And were likely just on break.

I heard about @bikingmzstacey getting picked on by right-wing media over this incident, but this public records request totally vindicates her. Thank you Stacey. #bikeSF #BikeTooter https://sf.streetsblog.org/2023/01/31/entitled-bike-lane-lady-speaks-out/

A fire broke out this evening at apartment building 3017 20th Street displacing 21 tenants.

The SFFD is asking residents to avoid the area between Alabama and Florida Streets.

The SF Fire Department will veto protected bike lanes and car-free streets for the Tenderloin’s kids to play, saying their trucks need a 26’ clearance, but allows this. #sfpol #bikeSF #SFFD
