This week, The Oakland Fire Department Christened its new vessel, the Bay Wolf, a 42-foot fireboat. Stationed at the Oakland-Alameda estuary at Fire Station 2 in Jack London Square, the vessel adds new firefighting and disaster response capabilities to the city.

The Bay Wolf was christened at a ceremony on Wednesday, but the vessel had already sprung into action last week to douse a large vacant warehouse fire near Brooklyn Basin.

The Bay Wolf was funded through a federal Port Security Grant, will provide regional coverage for the Port of Oakland, waterways, and neighboring cities, and is capable of pumping 5,000 gallons of water per minute—tripling prior marine firefighting capacity. The new vessel and its specifically trained crew are equipped to respond to: vessel and boat fires; waterfront and pier structure fires; search and rescue incidents; basic and advanced life safety emergency medical calls; sinking prevention; and diver and recovering support.

The fireboat can hold 4 crew members and 12 other people and operate anywhere in the Bay Area. The boat’s 4 roof and bow monitors (cannons) can reach 100 feet. #fireboat #oaklandfire #oaklandfiredepartment #ofd #fireems by @oaklandfireca

💛 Rooted in community. Connected by care.

Standing alongside La Catrina, our MACRO community responders are reminded of what makes Oakland special: the cultures, stories, and generations that shape our neighborhoods and bring us together. 🫶

As a symbol of remembrance, belonging, and the enduring connection between generations, La Catrina welcomes us to celebrate the people and traditions that make our community stronger.

At MACRO, we’re proud to show up for Oakland with care, compassion, and connection — meeting people where they are and honoring the dignity of every person we serve. 💛

Here’s to the people, cultures, and connections that make Oakland home.

Today, we had the honor of partnering with the Oakland Fire Department to provide lunches for all the participants of the annual Fire Safety Day. This day was dedicated to educating children about fire safety, including techniques like stop, roll, and drop, and understanding what is safe to use or touch in their homes. We express our deepest gratitude to the @oaklandfireca and @smokeybear for their unwavering commitment to ensuring our safety. by @oaklandfireca
