Aided Case: 2500 Block of 44th Avenue, Oct. 18, 7:44 a.m.

Residents reported seeing a mountain lion in front of their homes. Officers responded, established a perimeter, and alerted neighbors to shelter in place and stay out of the area.

California Fish and Wildlife, San Francisco Animal Care and Control and the San Francisco Zoo’s veterinary dart team responded and coordinated a plan to safely tranquilize the mountain lion. After being darted, it ran from the perimeter and took cover in nearby bushes, where the tranquilizer took effect.

The mountain lion was safely released back into the wild.

SFFD responded to a report of a family en route to a hospital to deliver their baby. Due to heavy traffic, the family pulled over and called 911.

AMR 110 arrived first, however, due to traffic had to park two blocks away and ran and hiked just in time to deliver a healthy baby girl. Mother and child were transported to a local hospital in good condition.
