The Oakland Fire Department (OFD) provides fire protection and emergency medical services to the city of Oakland, California. The department is responsible for 78 square miles (200 km2) with a population of 406,253.[4]
History
The Oakland Fire Department was initially started in the 1860s as a volunteer fire department and was officially formed on March 13, 1869, when its first fire station was built.[5] In 1908 the department bought their first motorized fire engine and in the 1920s, the department became one of the first in the nation to hire African American firefighters.[6]
In 1991, the OFD was faced with a major conflagration that killed 25 people and injured 150 others. The Oakland firestorm of 1991 burned 1,520 acres (6.2 km2) in the Berkeley and Oakland Hills, destroying 3,354 single-family dwellings and 437 apartment and condominium units.[7] The economic loss was estimated at $1.5 billion.
