>> hello everybody and happy anniversary to the cable cars! [applause] >> i'm rick recollect the president of non profit market street rail way. we advocate for the cable cars and historic street cars on market street. we work with sfmta to enhance their operation and do it without any government money. this year, we partnered with numerous history and business groups and sfmta to celebrate 150 years of cable cars. [applause] one of the celebration partners union square alliance contributed wonderful banners behind us you see. melissa rodriguez, if you are here, stick your hand up. they are all here somewhere. she's the ceo. another partner,

the flood building which is overlooked this turn table since 1904 is gifting you folks with these great flowers passed around here. they work with the alliance to decorate this cable car. will the flood sisters please put their hands up? [applause] we really miss jim flood. sorry he cant be here. he's here--that's right. china town merchants, fisherman whafer, downtown san francisco parthnership all contributed to help us bring you cable car history. mike fips and don (indiscernible) cable car mew museum are here and should be inside the circle and if they are not, they should make their way up. when you say cable car you

see temporary photos on the side windows. we did these to teach a little cable car history to everybody who sees the car and rides them this year. many of the photos come from the wonderful and i mean wonderful, sfmta archive and show the san francisco fast decades these cable cars operated in. jeremy (indiscernible) is the photographer. he is busy working. there he is. i knew you would be front and center. thank you jeremy. rather then run down cable car history, we summarized critical things on handout cards that should be available over there. take a look, pick up a program next to the banners over there. thank you. thank you anton. turn up your hearing aid. that might help. tony subella, another san francisco

family. pick up the program and you'll see there--somebody is giving us feedback. thank you. i have professional audio people here. so, there is all kinds of special cable car history on the website we put together. sfcablecars.org. you can type that in or scan your phone on any of these pictures and you will be taken right to it. now, let's get to the important speakers here, starting with someone i knew a huge cable car lover, working so hard for san francisco every single day, our mayor, the honorable london breed. [applause] >> maybe this might work a little bit better. [applause] alright! alright, let's celebrate 150 years of cable cars in san francisco! [applause] let me tell you why that is

important. because san francisco is a city of firsts. not only was the cable car invented here and other fallowed in other cities around the entire world, right now the cable car only exists in the city and county of san francisco. let me tell you why. because of women. [applause] yes! yes, a man invented the cable car and we named holiday plaza after him, so he is credited with that, but it was women who stepped up to make sure that this amazing cable car continued to be a part of the fabric of san francisco for 150 years. i know that we acknowledge all the amazing flood women who are joining us here today. so great to see you. [applause] but it was freeda clauseman who

saved the cable cars in 1947 when everyone wanted to start to automade san francisco and use san francisco. people love technology and love to get somewhere quick, she stepped up, fought hard, put a measure on the ballots and passed to not only save the cable cars in san francisco, but to allow them to continue. another woman who stepped up to help make sure that the cable cars continued was our former mayor, diane feinstein. [applause] in the late 1970 needed a complete over-haul. we needed to make sure it continued to run and it was safe, so she raised money in the private sector to allow for an opportunity to make investments in the cable car to maintain and keep the system running. the other woman who

was instrumental in the success of the cable cars, the conductors are pretty amazing. they do a lot of great work. they got to be strong. 25 years ago (indiscernible) barnes [applause] the first woman to lay hands on the equipment, to run the cable car system. to make it work and to make people feel welcome to san francisco. this woman was a trail-blazer and we are so glad to have you here. that's your mama! [applause] her whole family is here, because we are honoring you and your legacy and are everything you did to make the cars so successful. thank you mrs. barnes, so great to have you here. women do it all. but we also know san francisco is a special place, and so

many people again talk about the firsts. the first to invent the cable car. the first to invent television. did you all know that? and the first to invent the clap on here in san francisco which actually opened the door for all the technology advancements we are seeing today. it is no wonder people want to be here. it is no wonder many folks who left san francisco have decided to come back and start their business and open the door to new technology, new industries, because every time you think about some of the amazing things that happen in the world, it all starts here and the cable car is a important tribute to san francisco's resilience, its history and its legacy. last but not least, today we are going to dedicate a cable car in honor of someone who symbolizes the love for san

francisco. the person who talked about what it means to ride the cable car on our rolling hills and to all most touch the stars. a person who loved the city and county of san francisco, mr. tony bennett. [applause] that amazing tribute, i left my heart in san francisco. performed at the farmont hotel in the vunesia room for the first time. that has been a true ballot and contribution to san francisco that is like no other song that exists. today as we recognize him and his legacy and his love for san francisco, we will honor him by dedicating a cable car named for tony bennett. [applause] thank you again for everyone who is joining, those who live here, those who work

here, those who visit here. those who got dressed in outfits that represent san francisco's history early on, but also the movement. the first birthday in 1970 was here in san francisco in golden gate park and it set off a movement for environmental change, environmental justice and a number of things. i can go on and on about how great san francisco is, but i know you will experience it for yourself on this cable car, so thank you all so much for being here and i want to turn it back over to rick. [applause] >> thank you madam mayor. do we have women leaders in this town or what? we always-we have even more now, and now we are going to have a very special leader. one who set a

new standard in this country of dignity, of smarts, of resilience, and it is my as they used to say in washington, it is my high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the speaker emeritus of the u.s. house of representatives, the honorable nancy pelosi. [applause] >> thank you rick. thank you very much rick and-thank you madam mayor. honored to be here with you always. let me just say to rick, thank you for your leadership. the private sector and non profit sector and public sector who have been a real champion for san francisco. thank you rick. honor to be with you. karen flood, oh my gosh--

family. what a special day this is. imagine-you want me to hold it higher? imagine it has been this many years. this many years. the market street railway has been something that has been a model to the country. has been a symbol of san francisco's spirit of invasion right from the start, and i want to recognize mayor london breed for her tremendous tremendous leadership of our city. thank you very much madam mayor. honor to be with you. i know how important this occasion is to you, in terms of what it stands for historically, and what it means for the future. aaron peskin, thank you honor to be with you. bill ting, assemblyman with us

here. we have representation of federal, state and local government. again, most importantly, woo we have each and every one of you representatives of the community. jeff tumlin thank you for your leadership and fanny may barnes, the first female cable car (indiscernible) >> one and only! >> the first and foremost. so, here we are and again i want to mention senator feinstein. she was such an advocate for the cable cars. some times we would have our moments together because she would be praising some republicans in congress who had helped with the cable cars and some republicans did then and i said why are you are

praising them, we are trying to defeat them, but she was always about san francisco and she was always about the cable cars, and she even-the cable cares that again started our city invasion and with tony bennett and are diane nighting with him on the cable cars, taking us to the stars. to a brilliant brilliant future. i won't sing. i won't sing, but not only tony bennett, but mia anglo 15 years old set her sights working as a conductor aboard the street cars. think of all these incredible connections. it is my honor b to here with all of you. there is so much to be said about the families, about the sense of community, about the businesses, about the entrepreneurship, about the invasion of san francisco, but it is also a moment for us to

take pride in our past. i say a third time, a past about invasion for the future. congratulations to all of us on this. madam may, i know you take great pride being mayor of san francisco every minute of every day, but isn't it exciting today? >> yes! [applause] >> very special, very special. now it is my privilege to yield back to rick. rick, thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you. thank you for your leadership- >> (indiscernible) >> thank you for your leadership of our nation as well as our city. we owe you. [applause] tough act to follow, but the guy i will introduce is up to

it. there are 11 members of the board of superrisers in san francisco, but only one president. there are 11 members of the board of supervisors but there is only one who has every cable car in his district. ladies and gentlemen, president aaron peskin. [applause] >> thank you rick and thank you to the market street railway for your stewardship. thank you to twu local 258 and fanny barnes and all her colleagues before, during and since. much is made of the symbol of rezilancy, the phoenix rising from the ashes, but i suggest to all of us san franciscans that the real symbol of resiliency is our cable car. a cable car that survived not one, but two pandemics. that survived the city burning to the ground. that survived two great earthquakes.

that survived mayors who wanted to rip them out. this is the symbol of the city that knows how knew how and continues to know how. god bless these cable cars. [applause] let's put this in a monetary context. i think mr. hal day raised $27 thousand to build the first 5300 feet of track along clay street. it took diane feinstein in her efforts 110 years later, $60 million to refurbish it. i are want to thank and acknowledge the sfmta that has kept it in a good state of repair every since. [applause] but these cable cars are linked to the economic success of san francisco. not only because they attract tourists from around the world, but because they continue to

deliver our people to work each and every day before pandemics, during pandemics, after pandemics and i will leave you with this remaining thought, if you ever want to run for supervisor of district 3, i never revealed this until now, the best place tocome pain is the cable car in the morning when everybody who is commuting to work from district 3 to jobs in district 3 is available to receive your fliers even though i think technically you are not supposed to do that on the cable car. congratulations on 150 years! [applause] rick >> thank you aaron. thank you. so glad telegraph hill is represented here. such a core part of the city. most people dont recognize how unusual our transportation agency is. besides transit they oversee taxies, bike infrastructure, parking street scapes

and a lot more. leading that agency is a huge job and a tough one never tougher then the past three years through pandemic, fiscal threats and city recovery. so glad it has been in the very capable hands of director of transportation jeff tumlin. >> thank you rick! [applause] >> i'm jeff, san francisco director of transportation and there is a reason the phoenix rising from the flames is on the flag of the great city of san francisco. when andrew hal day and father immigrated to california from scotland, they failed at mining gold but they reinvented themselves by reinventing a way of making wire rope and then having the completely crazy idea of taking mining ore car technology and applying it to san francisco's equally crazy topography. 4 a.m. on august 2,

1873, andrew had to be the one to trial the first run of the cable car, because no one else wanted to do it because they thought it was a crazy idea. it is here in san francisco that crazy technological ideas come to life, and every 10 to 15 years this city transitions from a bus to a boom economy by once again reinventing technology and figuring out what is next. but even thinking bet the future, san francisco continues to hold on to its core, its heart. it holds to the core values, particularly civility and (indiscernible) nothing exlempifys both creativity and technology, but also civily and joy at the same time better then san francisco's cable cars and i am humbled to be here for

my short-term being a steward of these incredible resources. we couldn't do this without strong support from our federal, our state, our local policy makers, even our own board of directors and lydia so our newest board member, the steward of the cable car system. the people who make the cable cars work are staff. alfred butler, earny hanson, (indiscernible) and we have folks including (indiscernible) and derrick johnson who will be taking us on this inaugural run. we also remember our history here, including the incredible history of our staff. i like to now bring up the speaker and mayor to honor

the fanny may barnes, the first (indiscernible) [cheering and applause] >> would you lake to say a few words? >> yes. so happy to be here, and very happy about being the first female on the cable car. growing up in a small town in georgia, my mom told me you can do exactly what you want to do, you just have to put in the work. that is exactly what i did. that's what my mom told me to do. i put in the work and (indiscernible) i did it at age 52. absolutely unheard of. [applause] >> thank you so much. i'll bring back rick and

offer equal thanks to phenomenal volunteers at market street railway. [bell] that's a bell for fanny may. >> a treasure for our city, and a real (indiscernible) we appreciate that. we must not leave out sacramento. we depend on our representatives in the state capital to fight fight fight for more transit funding, and more funding of other kinds the cities needs to survive. we have a great team of legislators and one of them assembly member ting, matt haney and scott wiener with a resolution. we will present it to jeff. >> thank you rick. come on up jeff. you heard how important the cable cars, not

just are to san franciscans but everything who thinks about san francisco. to me, this is city that is a beacon, a light where people come to san francisco. people want to be tourists here, people want to live here, people want to make their way here or find a better life here and there is no better symbol. there are two symbol the golden gate bridge and the cable car. a symbol of inclusion, welcoming. how important it is when you ride the cars. you heard from the supervisor talk about the san francisco residents getting to work running their errands. everything that is part of their day and then you have our amazing tourists who come to line up at this turn around to enjoy it. to me this symbol is precious, we have to preserve it and make sure we are doing everything possible to make sure that we can maintain it. that's one reason why work very very hard at the state level to

do more funding for transit this year. $5 billion across the state. part is to make sure that muni, bart, ac transit can keep operating. very very critical services, absolutely needed and making sure these cable cares keep running is at the top of the list. again, congratulations jeff on behalf of senator wiener, assembly member haney, just appreciate you and your staff for all the hard work. woo ehad a couple rough years with the pandemic and still getting through it but appreciate you, all the operators who showed up every day, rain or shine no matter what happens, make sure the system and cars are running. making sure that we don't forget our amazing cable cars on market street railway so thank you. appreciate it. [applause] >> well, okay. cable

cares can take you half way to the stars, we all know that. today they can take you 150 years into the past as well. at least that is true of the distinguished past san franciscans who have time traveled to be here with. edward norton is here. [applause] let me introduce you to someone who we wouldn't be here today without the inventor of the cable car, mr. andrew haliday. [applause] this is a microphone. you talk into it and-- >> amazing. i want to thank professor brown for bringing many of us here on this delorian time machine. you know, that very first day we were going up the clay street hill and the man i

hired panicked who he saw down below and he ran away, so i had to take the grip myself. i was sure the grip will stay on theer -car, right? it will, yes. so, today we are looking at cable car number one. looking just like the original cars on the powell street line, which began to operate in 1888. isn't she a beauty? i personally want to thank all the workers, the carpenters, the painters, the iron workers who lovingly restored and rebuilt and refurbished these cars with skilled hands and dedicated hearts. i also want to thank the gripman and conductors and power plant operators who maintain this system that all sorts of weather, day and night. i think they are to be congratulated for their hard work. [applause] and i also want to thank the city for continuing to fund the cable cars, and i hope

you will keep the fares at 5 cents. [laughter] i invite all of you, the residents, our dear residents and our dear visitors to ride the cable cars, enjoy the journey, enjoy the views, and know you are riding one of the treasures of san francisco where they continue to run for another 150 years. [applause] >> thank you so much mr. haliday, honor to have you here. turn up the delorian to 1873 when you go back. i want to do a quick shout out to the crew on this cable car. they are all special, they are all hard workers. (indiscernible) also a noted cable car historian. (indiscernible) he is wonderful guy. we appreciate him very much. derrick johnson, our conductor

today. he is a great conductor. he is also active in local 250a and i want to shout out to all organized labor represented in all the crafts of cable car. that shows you what union work can do. [applause] the quality is unbelievable and never been better then today. so, we had great support from the san francisco historical society and steve and his reenactors, steve johnson andrew -done a great job rounding all the people up. we have people from every era here. dona hugens is here as a person of the 60's i guess. you never know. and all the folks from the art deco society and all the groups who have come. i know i will miss some

people. we all know how valuable our cable cars are to san francisco, but i thought it was time to get a professional assessment, so who better to do that then our city and county assessor? i wanted to ask you professionally, how valuable do you think the cable cars are? >> we are lucky because there is no taxable value of the cars, the values are immeasurable in the benefit to the city and county of san francisco. the memories they make, the workers they employ, experiences provided to san franciscans and visitors to enjoy the city. heading to union scare, swenson to the other side of the hill to see the bay. those are the memories in san francisco and that's the value. >> swenson (indiscernible) since 1948. locally owned business. the cable cars

actually do provide economic value that you can assess through all these small businesses and other places that benefit from their value, is that right? >> the best part is you can just huv off the train and visit each neighborhood along the way filled with diverse vibrant small businesses that make our city shine. >> thank you joaquin. >> thank you so much rick. >> joaquin represents the next generation of city leadership and we are in really good hands with folks like joaquin. also i went to college with his father art. art owes me now. that is not true, joaquin is a great leader of our town. our cable cars are still with us because of the work of thousands of san franciscans as said here who built operated and maintained them, and because of special cable car heroes who created them, saved them, rebuilt thement, senator

feinstein we are thinking of you, and who celebrated them to the entire world. we lost one of those heroes 10 day ago, but the gift he gave to the cable cars will live on through the enduring populearity became his song that enticed millions from free mont, oakland and paris and china and all over the world. to feel the fog he sang about and to ride those little cable cars half way to the stars. we have requested and so glad to hear the mayor say what she said today, a cable care dedicated to tony bennett. we will have a party when that happens and we'll be here for that, and let's remember him. is don nealy here? don nealy is a wonderful san

franciscans and wave your hand don. musician, musician. there he is. don, can you play for us? you know what we need. don nealy. nope. we will have to sing it by ourselves. [singing i left my heart in san francisco]

[applause] >> thank you all!

>> in august 2019 construction began on the new facility at 1995 evans avenue in bayview. it will house motorcycle police and department of forensic services division. both sfpd groups are in two buildings that need to be vacated. they will join the new $183 million facility in late 2021. >> elements of the cfi and the traffic company are housed at the hall of justice, which has been determined to be seismically unfit.

it is slated for demolition. in addition to that the forensic services crime lab is also slated for demolition. it was time and made sense to put these elements currently spread in different parts of the city together into a new facility. >> the project is located in the bayview area, in the area near estes creek. when san francisco was first formed and the streetcars were built back it was part of the bay. we had to move the building as close to the edge as possible on bedrock and solid elements piles down to make sure it was secure. >> it will be approximately 100,000 square feet, that includes 8,000 square feet for traffic company parking garage. >> the reason we needed too new building, this is inadequate for the current staffing needs and

also our motor department. the officers need more room, secured parking. so the csi unit location is at the hall of justice, and the crime laboratory is located at building 60 sixty old hunters point shipyard. >> not co-located doesn't allow for easy exchange of information to occur. >> traffic division was started in 1909. they were motor officers. they used sidecars. officers who road by themselves without the sidecar were called solo. that is a common term for the motorcycle officers. we have 45 officers assigned to the motorcycles. all parking at the new facility will be in one location. the current locker room with shared with other officers. it is not assigned to just traffic companies.

there are two showers downstairs and up. both are gym and shop weres are old. it needs constant maintenance. >> forensic services provides five major types of testing. we develop fingerprints on substances and comparisons. there are firearms identification to deal with projectiles, bullets or cartridge casings from shootings. dna is looking at a whole an rare of evidence from -- array of evidence from dna to sexual assault to homicide. we are also in the business of doing breath allyzer analysis for dui cases. we are resurrecting the gunshot

residue testing to look for the presence of gunshot residue. lifespan is 50 years. >> it has been raised up high enough that if the bay starts to rise that building will operate. the facility is versus sustainable. if the lead gold highest. the lighting is led. gives them good lights and reduces energy use way down. water throughout the project we have low water use facilities. gardens outside, same thing, low water use for that. other things we have are green roofs on the project. we have studies to make sure we have maximum daylight to bring it into the building. >> the new facility will not be open to the public. there will be a lobby. there will be a deconstruction

motorcycle and have parts around. >> the dna labs will have a vestibule before you go to the space you are making sure the air is clean, people are coming in and you are not contaminating anything in the labs. >> test firing in the building you are generating lead and chemicals. we want to quickly remove that from the individuals who are working in that environment and ensure what we put in the air is not toxic. there are scrubbers in the air to ensure any air coming out is also at the cleanest standards. >> you will see that kind of at the site. it has three buildings on the site. one is for the motorcycle parking, main building and back behind is a smaller building for evidence vehicles. there is a crime, crime scene. they are put into the secure facility that locks the cars down while they are examined.

>> they could be vehicles involved in the shooting. there might be projectiles lodged in the vehicle, cartridge casings inside the vehicle, it could be a vehicle where a aggravated sexual occurred and there might be biological evidence, fingerprints, recovered merchandise from a potential robbery or other things. >> the greatest challenge on the project is meeting the scope requirements of the project given the superheated construction market we have been facing. i am proud to say we are delivering a project where we are on budget. >> the front plaza on the corner will be inviting to the public. something that gives back to the public. the building sits off the edge. it helps it be protected. >> what we are looking for is an

updated building, with facilities to meet our unit's needs. >> working with the san francisco police department is an honor and privilege. i am looking forward to seeing their faces as the police officers move to the new facility. >> it is a welcome change, a new surrounding that is free from all of the challenges that we face with being remote, and then the ability to offer new expanded services to the city and police department investigations unit. i can't wait until fall of 2021 when the building is finally ready to go and be occupied and the people can get into the facility to serve them and serve the community.

>> there is a lot of unique characteristics about visitation valley. it is a unique part of the city. >> we are off in a corner of the city against the san francisco county line 101 on one side. vis station valley is still one of the last blue color neighborhoods in san francisco. a lot of working class families out here. it is unusual. not a lot of apartment

buildings. a lot of single family homes. >> great business corridor. so much traffic coming through here and stopping off to grab coffee or sandwich or pick up food before going home. >> a lot of customers are from the neighborhood. they are painters or mechanics. they are like blue color workers, a lot of them. >> the community is lovely. multi-racial and hopefully we can look out for each other. >> there is a variety of businesses on the block. you think of buffalo kitchen, chinese food, pork buns, sandwich. library, bank of america with a parking lot. the market where you can grab anything. amazing food choices, nail salons. basically everything you need is here. >> a lot of these businesses up and down leland are family

owned. people running them are family. when you come here and you have an uncle and nephew and go across the street and have the guy and his dad. lisa and her daughter in the dog parlor and pam. it is very cool. >> is small businesses make the neighborhood unique. >> new businesses coming. in mission blue, gourmet chocolate manufacturing. the corridor has changed and is continuing to change. we hope to see more businesses coming in the near future. >> this is what is needed. first, stay home. unless it is absoluteliness scary. social distancing is the most important step right now to

limit spread of virus. cancel all nonessential gather everythings. >> when the pandemic litly land avenue suffered like other corridors. a few nail salons couldn't operate. they shut down. restaurants that had to adapt to more of a take out model. they haven't totally brought back indoor seating. >> it is heartbreaking to see the businesses that have closed down and shut because of the pandemic. >> when the pandemic first hit it got really slow. we had to change our hours. we never had to close, which is a blessing. thank god. we stayed open the whole time. >> we were kind of nervous and anxious to see what was going to come next hoping we will not have to close down. >> during covid we would go outside and look on both sides of the street. it looked like old western town.

nobody on the street. no cars. >> it was a hard eight or nine months. when they opened up half the people couldn't afford a haircut. >> during that time we kept saying the coffee shop was the living room of the valley. people would come to make sure they were okay. >> we checked on each other and patronized each other. i would get a cup of coffee, shirt, they would get a haircut. >> this is a generous and kind community. people would be like i am getting the toffee for the guy behind me and some days it went on and on. it was amazing to watch. we saw a perfect picture of community. we are all in this together. >> since we began to reopen one year later, we will emerge

stronger. we will emerge better as a city because we are still here and we stand in solidarity with one another. >> when we opened up august 1st. i will not say it was all good. we are still struggling due to covid. it affected a lot of people. >> we are still in the pandemic right now. things are opening up a little bit. it is great to have space to come together. i did a three painting series of visitation valley and the businesses on leland. it felt good to drop off the paintings and hung them. >> my business is picking up. the city is opening up. we have mask requirements. i check temperatures. i ask for vaccination card and/or recent test. the older folks they want to feel safe here. >> i feel like there is a sense of unity happening.

>> what got us through the pandemic was our customers. their dogs needed groomed, we have to cut their nails so they don't over grow. >> this is only going to push us forward. i sense a spirit of community and just belief in one another. >> we are trying to see if we can help all small businesses around here. there is a cannabis club lounge next to the dog parlor to bring foot traffic. my business is not going to work if the business across the street is not getting help. >> in hit us hard. i see a bright future to get the storefronts full. >> once people come here i think they really like it. >> if you are from san francisco visit visitation valley to see how this side of the city is the same but different.

[music] so, can you tell us what it was like for you during your first encounter with the san francisco fire department? >> yep. it was super cool! i got to learn about the dry standing pipe correction. it is actually called, dry sand piper just stand pipe. tomato. you know. yea. >> so, what is coming up next for what is that for? >> oh , firefighter backsterinvited mow to a fire station to see the cool stuff firefighters use to put out fires. you have seen the had doors open like a space ship from out of nowhere. i close my eye its is like i'm

there right now! wow! whoa. watch out, man. what is that for? >> what is this? these are fire engines they might look alike they are both red. white top and red lights on top. this is a new 2021 fire engine and this is an older 2014 fire engine. if you can't tell, this one is shorter and narrower than our older fire engines. they have cool things like recessed lights. roll up doors. 360 degree cam ares and more that is important as the city is moving toward slower and safer streets adding parklets and bulb outs and bike lanes we need to

decrease our footprint to keep us and the community safer on emergency scenes. >> what's back there? >> when is not guilty fire engine. great question. i want to see, sure. >> let's go back and look at the equipment and the fire pump on the fire engine. >> this is a fire pump. it is cool all the colors and all that. this fire pump and this engine holds 500 gallons of water that is a lot. >> a lot of water. >> it is push out 1500 gallons a minute of water. we can lose our 500 gammons quickly. why we use hoses like this to connect to a fire hydrant and that gives us unlimited amount of water to help put a fire out temperature is important we have enough fire engine in san francisco to put fires out. so we can reduce the injuries and minimize loss of life and

minimize property damage. [music] >> mr. will. mr. will. will! >> oh. daydreaming. thanks, everybody for watching! bye! [music] the san francisco music hall of fame is a living breathing world that's all encompassing about music. [music playing] it tries to do everything to create a music theme. music
