Of the 42 fire stations in San Francisco, eight average no more than three calls a day, the Web site SF Appeal reported Monday.
The site based its data on a 2004 Controller’s report that said stations around the Twin Peaks area and near the ocean field fewer calls per day than other stations.
Local firefighters have been protesting the Board of Supervisors’ effort to block budget increases for their department. One truck with a bullhorn cruised by the Mission Street offices of The Public Press shouting for San Francisco citizens to block the board’s actions.
The Board of Supervisors fired back by publishing a survey it funded, that says San Francisco firefighters work fewer hours than other nearby fire departments and earn the highest hourly wage, at $42.86 per hour, SF Weekly reported Friday.
