Citygate conducted a comprehensive multi-hazard, all-risk fire service deployment study of the Oakland Fire Department’s ability to respond to and mitigate emergencies in routine and strategic risk scenarios. The study combined Oakland’s capabilities with those of its neighbors to form a picture of what the sub-regional response system’s capabilities are to protect the strategic risks in the Oakland Metropolitan Area. From these assessments and the resultant gap analysis, recommendations for changes were made to improve the response system.
