In the before times, up to 2016, Berkeley Fire Department published an annual report called the NFPA Survey Report that categorized the dept's activities.
Hard to say what the current workload trend is with no data for 10 years

Here's a screen shot of an old report.
"Call volume over that same period: 11,500 incidents per year → 17,500 incidents per year"

Oakland's landlords weren't paying their business taxes. Once the City started pursuing what was owed, rental business tax doubled from the previous year, over tripled the year before that. Pretty wild how they are constantly whining at city hall about deadbeat tenants
also wondering if the Dominion Voting / Liberty Voting thing will effect us somehow. so far seems like California is approving all the Liberty Vote machinery

Emilie, your comment section on that article is disgusting and promotes violence. @albanyscanner.bsky.social

prepare to wait 2 weeks or more for this crash to show up on the BPD "transparency portal"
Israel’s new death penalty law places thousands of Palestinians at imminent risk of execution and escalates the systemized killing of Palestinians by the Israeli apartheid regime.

1st time using bike shuttle across the RSR Bridge & it's not my lucky day. The live tracking of the shuttle is not working. Another cyclist was waiting & she called the contractor who said there's a problem with the trailer. So she took the last the last bike slot on the 580 bus, so I'm waiting.

UC doesn't care about attaching materials to Sather Gate.
You can go there today, and see stuff that has been stuck there.

They only get involved when it is about Palestine.

Remember how things were last year, 6 months ago, in the so-called ceasefire which took effect on November 27, 2024?
