5:17 pm
he is the retired deputy chief of operations. >> let's give a warm city hall welcome to vic wershe. >> hello. my name is victor wershe recently retired from the san francisco fire department with 31 years of service and finishing as a deputy chief of operations. together we gather to celebrate the introduction and the penning of a native san franciscan as a chief of the san francisco fire department, this is a momentous occasion that run that honors both a personal achievement and deep community ties. as a lifelong resident, dean chrisman carries a unique connection to the city understanding its history, its people and the challenges. firefighting of firefighting and san francisco's diverse neighborhoods.
5:18 pm
his journey from firefighter to the 27th fire chief reflects dedication, resilience and a commitment to service. during this ceremony, city officials fellow firefighters and loved ones gather to recognize this achievement. the pending itself is a symbolic moment marking the transition into leadership and the responsibility of guiding the department forward. it is a proud and emotional event not just for dean chrisman and his family but for the entire sfd family and the residents they serve. my bond with her new chief runs deep not just through friendship but through life's most defining moments. i have fought many greater alarm fires with dean. side by side sharing the same hose line at many of my most memorable fires. chief chrisman and i responded with the first team of 11 to ground zero searching through the devastation, the rubble and the destruction with little
5:19 pm
more than a flashlight and our turnouts. i was in one of the most life changing moments of my life in alaska where i almost lost my leg. my dear friend dean and eric stivers and flew to anchorage to retrieve me after three operations and many plate screws and an external fixator from hip to toe. dean, who has a horrible foot phobia flew holding my leg with six rods in my bare feet in his lap for the entire flight home. on a personal note, one of my proudest moments was when dean asked me to be the godfather to his son dash. as a best friend for 34 years this is more than just a professional milestone. it is a personal one. we have all heard about chief crispin's remarkable career in those 34 years of service. he has spent a majority at stations one, three and 36 the busiest companies in the city and in some cases the entire nation.
5:20 pm
this is by choice the desire to have the largest chances to be in the most dangerous and productive situations, to be of service. dean has done this from firefighter to lieutenant to captain and through the rank of chief. so dean crispin's leadership isn't just about the title but about the kind of person that he has always been. someone who steps up in crisis whether it's for the city or for the people he loves. i would like to thank mayor lurie and the fire commission for the wise decision in selecting our new chief. today we recognize and honor a leader whose heart beats with unwavering dedication to san francisco. the s.f. show and its people. congratulations to chief dean chrisman, the 27th fire chief of the san francisco fire department. thank you, vic.
5:21 pm
next we'll hear from dean's brother randy crispin. >> thank you, joe. and good morning everyone. i had the great fortune to be born 11 years before dean and so i got to watch him grow up and develop into the man that he is today. >> and i did i was able to do that with the maturity of being quite a bit older than he was. >> and so now when people ask me if i'm surprised that dean has been selected to lead this great department, i have to say i'm not surprised at all. >> because dean has been doing great things his entire life. >> now i think all of you know about at least some of dean's accomplishments as a firefighter.
5:22 pm
vic alluded to some of them. >> i'd be remiss if i didn't mention at least a few three commendations for rescuing fire victims, elderly fire victims in the tenderloin meeting the city's response to more than 50 major incidents. and as vic also alluded to organizing a group of firefighters to go to new york city as soon as they could after 911 to work on the pit and to be there to support their fellow firefighter ears and the grieving families. >> now there are a lot of other things about dean that most of you probably don't know. and i want to spend a little time talking about that dean. don't worry. it's not the stories you're worried about. we don't want you to be the shortest tenured chief in the history of the san francisco fire department. >> you may not know that dean is an outstanding athlete and
5:23 pm
competitor. dean has won the national championship in handball not once but twice. he won the open national championship in 2000. and then in 2004 he won the 35 and over title. >> coming back from the brink of defeat in the third and final game when it looked like he had no chance to win. >> you may not know that dean has been acquiring started acquiring properties in san francisco in his 20s, renovating and then managing them himself while also excelling as a firefighter and then an officer and helping kelly at the same time to raise their two amazing boys. >> you may not know that dean has an uncanny ability to be where he's needed when there's a medical emergency even when he's not at work.
5:24 pm
we were at the nfc championship game a few years ago and so fly stadium we're sitting there during a time out. and dean started telling me about all the times that he'd been called upon to render assistance to people when he wasn't even on the clock. and sure enough just he was telling me that story. >> somebody collapsed a couple of sections over. and even though it was a tight game, the niners were still in the game. he got up and he did what dean always does. he went over. he did what he could and stabilize the person until the very medics could arrive and take over from there. >> you may not know how incredibly loyal and generous dean has been with this family over the years. >> dean is a person in the family that people go to when they have a problem because they trust his good judgment and his common sense and usually takes a little money to get them out of the problem.
5:25 pm
he takes care of that too and is just. >> that same loyalty has also been shown to the city of san francisco. he's been a lifelong resident here as you heard. in fact, he's lived in san francisco his entire life except for one last year at chico state that we really don't talk about. >> so i've been thinking about all these things and what they say about dean. and obviously he's very talented dean smart. he has good judgment. he's come under fire. he has his brother's good looks . >> but i think that dean's real superpower is not his talent. it's his character. dean has incredible integrity. >> dean is unfailingly honest. >> dean is incredibly diligent,
5:26 pm
which is why during the press conference announcing his appointment when dean said i'm going to work tirelessly on behalf of this city and its residents, you should believe him because he always does what he says he's going to do. and in fact, when i flew in last night i called him to see what he was up to if we get together and he said i can't randy. i'm working. and that's just dean. >> so dean all i can say is you've been the best little brother that anybody could ever hope for. i'll always cherish our ski trips that we've taken together starting when i was old enough to drive us to tahoe like our dad had done so many times before. i miss the epic ping pong battles that we had in the garage on 43rd avenue at least until you started beating me when you were about 12. >> we're just so, so proud to see you ascend to the pinnacle of your profession. but we're not surprised.
5:27 pm
>> thank you, randy. by the way, one of our other new supervisors has arrived. i'd like to give a warm welcome. he represents district five bilal mahmood right here. >> and now, ladies and gentlemen, it's my great pleasure to introduce the 46th mayor of the city of san francisco. the honorable daniel lurie. >> all right, i have a speech all written out, but i first
5:28 pm
5:29 pm
talking but i got emotional. i said this to our new chief and i said this for months leading up when you all are called you come running. you don't ask. you don't ask who you're going to you just go. and i did not know this about the chief and his trip to new york city on 911 but i was there that morning and i remember a moment where i was up in central park and it was about six weeks seven weeks after. and i think new yorkers were taken a breath and i was with some friends and we were all hanging out at the park and a fire truck came along the outskirts of it and there was a few thousand people in that
5:30 pm
park and we all got up and gave them a standing ovation for what they did on september 11th. and i'll just never forget it. i'll never forget that moment. i'll never forget obviously 911 and the fact that we have an incredible fire department, an incredible police department. just know that my fellow colleagues on the board of supervisors and myself you have our back and we'll have your backs alongside your new chief dean crispin. >> so let me do the speech part now. it's an honor to welcome you all to city hall to celebrate a momentous occasion for someone who has dedicated over 30 years
5:31 pm
to service and the safety of others. >> in the past month since i've taken office i've had the pleasure of working alongside you, chief and the talented team of professionals across the fire department. >> and it is clear from the devastation we have witnessed recently in los angeles that the strength of any community is measured not only by its infrastructure or policies but by the dedication of its people those who work tirelessly to safeguard, uplift and empower the lives of others. together and today we celebrate one such individual and his appointment to a crucial role in our city. and it is my great honor to formally swear in chief dean crisp and today this is a role that carries immense responsibility and requires a unique combination of vision, leadership and a profound connection to the people that
5:32 pm
we serve. as you've heard, chief chris christman has built a remarkable legacy defined by unwavering dedication whether as a first responder, an advocate for underserved populations or a leader fostering collaboration. he has demonstrated an extraordinary ability to meet challenges with both strength and empathy. chief christman as we swear you and we celebrate not only your past achievements but also look forward to your future leadership. as you take on this new challenge, know that you carry with you the trust and confidence of every person in this room and of the community that will grow stronger because of your work. i'd like to now ask you to come up and take this oath of office. >> and while you do that i also want to shout out our former chiefs. thank you for your service to our city.
5:33 pm
it is truly, truly an honor to be with all of you here today. >> thank you. this is one of my first and most nervous. >> i'm probably more nervous than dean is. all right, here we go. all right. repeat after me and going to keep the first part short. >> i i dean crispin, do solemnly swear that i will support and defend the constitution of the united states. >> do solemnly swear that i will support and defend the constitution of the united states against all enemies foreign and domestic. >> against all enemies. foreign and domestic. that i will bear true faith and allegiance to the constitution of the united states. >> that i will bear true faith

5:39 pm
inspiring. in the two weeks i've been in this position the tone has changed dramatically in the meetings i have attended. words are being used such as solve now enough commitment priority. i reported to the mayor this last weekend that i visit fire station 36. and the member said to me market street was as clean as they had seen it in their careers. i reported that to the mayor and his response was that's good. but we still have a long way to go. incremental change while something is not the goal, the overarching directive is complete and total success no excuses, no settling, no mediocrity. we stand with our city family to accomplish this vision. to my family thank you for your unwavering support, patience and sacrifice. this profession demands long

5:46 pm
>> i don't think you need to be an expert to look around and see the increasing frequency of fires throughout california. they are continuing at an ever-increasing rate every summer, and as we all know, the drought continues and huge shortages of water right now. i don't think you have to be an expert to see the impact. when people create greenhouse gases, we are doing so by different activities like burning fossil fuels and letting
5:47 pm
off carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and we also do this with food waste. when we waste solid food and leave it in the landfill, it puts methane gas into the atmosphere and that accelerates the rate at which we are warming our planet and makes all the effects of climate change worse. the good news is there are a lot of things that you can be doing, particularly composting and the added benefit is when the compost is actually applied to the soil, it has the ability to reverse climate change by pulling carbon out of the atmosphere and into the soil and the t radios. and there is huge amount of science that is breaking right now around that. >> in the early 90s, san francisco hired some engineers to analyze the material san francisco was sending to landfill. they did a waste
5:48 pm
characterization study, and that showed that most of the material san francisco was sending to landfill could be composted. it was things like food scraps, coffee grounds and egg shells and sticks and leaves from gardening. together re-ecology in san francisco started this curbside composting program and we were the first city in the country to collect food scraps separately from other trash and turn them into compost. it turns out it was one of the best things we ever did. it kept 2.5 million tons of material out of the landfill, produced a beautiful nutrient rich compost that has gone on to hundreds of farms, orchards and vineyards. so in that way you can manage your food scraps and produce far less methane. that is part of the solution. that gives people hope that we're doing something to slow down climate change. >> i have been into organic farming my whole life. when we started planting trees,
5:49 pm
it was natural to have compost from re-ecology. compost is how i work and the soil biology or the microbes feed the plant and our job as regenerative farmers is to feed the microbes with compost and they will feed the plant. it is very much like in business where you say take care of your employees and your employees will take carolinas of your customers. the same thing. take care of the soil microbes and soil life and that will feed and take care of the plants. >> they love compost because it is a nutrient rich soil amendment. it is food for the soil. that is photosynthesis. pulling carbon from the atmosphere. pushing it back into the soil where it belongs. and the roots exude carbon into the soil. you are helping turn a farm into a carbon sink. it is an international model. delegations from 135 countries have come to study this program. and it actually helped inspire a
5:50 pm
new law in california, senate bill 1383. which requires cities in california to reduce the amount of compostable materials they send to landfills by 75% by 2025. and san francisco helped inspire this and this is a nation-leading policy. >> because we have such an immature relationship with nature and the natural cycles and the carbon cycles, government does have to step in and protect the commons, which is soil, ocean, foryes, sir, and so forth. -- forest, and so fors. we know that our largest corporations are a significant percentage of carbon emission, and that the corporate community has significant role to play in reducing carbon emissions. unfortunately, we have no idea and no requirement that they disclose anything about the carbon footprint, the core operation and sp360 stands for
5:51 pm
the basic notion that large corporations should be transparent about the carbon footprint. it makes all the sense in the world and very common sense but is controversial. any time you are proposing a policy that is going to make real change and that will change behavior because we know that when corporations have to disclose and be transparent and have that kind of accountability, there is going to be opposition. >> we have to provide technical assistance to comply with the state legislation sb1383 which requires them to have a food donation program. we keep the edible food local. and we are not composting it because we don't want to compost edible food. we want that food to get eaten within san francisco and feed folks in need. it is very unique in san francisco we have such a broad and expansive education program
5:52 pm
for the city. but also that we have partners in government and nonprofit that are dedicated to this work. at san francisco unified school district, we have a sustainability office and educators throughout the science department that are building it into the curriculum. making it easy for teachers to teach about this. we work together to build a pipeline for students so that when they are really young in pre-k, they are just learning about the awe and wonder and beauty of nature and they are connecting to animals and things they would naturally find love and affinity towards. as they get older, concepts that keep them engaged like society and people and economics. >> california is experiencing many years of drought. dry periods. that is really hard on farms and is really challenging. compost helps farms get through these difficult times. how is that? compost is a natural sponge that attracts and retains water.
5:53 pm
and so when we put compost around the roots of plants, it holds any moisture there from rainfall or irrigation. it helps farms make that corner and that helps them grow for food. you can grow 30% more food in times of drought in you farm naturally with compost. farms and cities in california are very hip now to this fact that creating compost, providing compost to farms helps communities survive and get through those dry periods. >> here is the thing. soil health, climate health, human health, one conversation. if we grow our food differently, we can capture all that excess carbon in the atmosphere and store it in unlimited quantities in the soil, that will create nutrient dense foods that will take care of most of our civilized diseases. so it's one conversation. people have to understand that
5:54 pm
they are nature. they can't separate. we started prowling the high plains in the 1870s and by the 1930s, 60 year, we turned it into a dust bowl. that is what ignore looks like when you don't pay attention to nature. nature bats last. so peope have to wake up. wake up. compost. >> it is really easy to get frustratedse w th belie that you have to be completely sustainable 24/7 in all aspects of your life. it is not about being perfect. it s about makingge tere in you life. maybe saying, you know what? i don't have to drive to that particular pl today. today i am going to take the bus or i'm going to walk. it is about having us is stainable in mind. that is -- it is about having sustainability in min that is how we movehdil. u don't have t be perfect althe. >> san francisco has been and the
5:55 pm
greener cities because there are communities who care about protecting a special ecosystem and habitat. thinking about the history of the ohlone and the native and indigenous people wh are stewards of this land from that history to now with the ambitious climate action plan we just passed and the goals we have, i think we have a dedicated group of people who see the importance of this place. and who put effort into building an infrastructure that actually makes it possible. >> we have a long history starting with the gold rush and the anti-war activism and that is also part of the environmental movement in the 60s and 70s. and of course, earth day in 1970 which is huge. and i feel very privileged to work for the city because we are on such a forefront of environmental issues, and we get calls from all over the world really to get information. how do cities create waste programs like they do in san francisco. we are looking into the few which you are and we want
