    We had a little excitement at the house a few days ago when my wife, suffering from severe stomach…read morepain that later turned out to be appendicitis, started hyperventilating. Scary stuff. Well, this led to my first 911 call... and I must say that I came away very impressed with the RWC Fire Department. Why, you might ask? Three reasons: 1. These guys moved fast. I heard the truck's siren coming our way while I was literally still on the phone with the 911 operator. Definitely not more than 90 seconds since I'd placed the call. 2. They knew what they were doing. In addition to several fire fighters who are presumably great at batting flames, they had a paramedic in tow who quickly diagnosed our hyperventilation, administered oxygen and had my wife back into stable, talking condition. 3. They were good folks. When my two year old got out of bed and expressed understandable concern about both his mother and the surrounding chaos, one of the firemen brought him out to look at the truck and left him with one of those plastic fire helmets as a souvenir. My wife did end up getting an appendectomy and recovered amazingly fast, so the story ends well. And most relevant to this review, I came away feeling both heartfelt thanks towards these men of the Redwood City Fire Department... and that I've never been more pleased with how my tax dollars are being spent. Hopefully you'll never have need of these services, but it sure is nice to know they're there.

    Super friendly people here! I went to a CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training class…read morehere and everyone I met was so friendly. Especially Christy who is the head of the CERT training. She is knowledgeable and shares that knowledge freely with people. We even got to see quite a few firemen coming down the poles. Woo hoo! :-) I've gained a lot of respect for these people and what they do each day. Thank you RCFD...you guys are great!

    Recently, a fire fighter walked into my small business and declared that we are now considered a…read morelevel 1 facility, which mean they want us to pay $700 per year. We do not store any large chemicals, but when I asked them what is the point of that $700, they told me that it was to "regulate" something. When I pushed them on how, they just said it was to regulate chemicals we have. Sounds more like a money grab. Not a good look for the city to send fire fighters around town just to generate revenue. I'm guessing underfunded pensions? I remember when fire fighters were in the business of protecting public safety, not shaking up local businesses for money. Kind of reminds me of when a gang member walks into an immigrant's small business and demands protection money.

These incredibly skilled and compassionate professionals went FAR out of their way to ensure the safety of a 90, 92 and 87 year old over the course of 48 hours even though it was NOT their job. The fire department is often there when no one else is to take on the hardest jobs, even when it isn't in their job description and we appreciate it more than you know. They don't complain, they don't grumble, they just get on with it. True professionals. I can't thank them enough for literally saving the dad, and ultimately saving my dad's life.

    Beautiful and quiet park that is currently run by the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, Phleger…read moreEstate can be accessed via Huddart County park or by a roadside lot off Skyline Blvd. The benefit of parking at Huddart (albeit with a $6 parking fee) are clean restrooms and the fact you are doing most of the uphill at the start of your hike. Hiking in from Huddart, the crowds thinned and I only saw 3 other hiking groups the whole time-unusual for a beautiful Saturday in August. The park is well signed and I took the Miramontes trail which meanders along what is now a dry creek, gently uphill to a fork (again well signed) that points you to the Raymundo or Mt Redundo trails. I veered right to the Raymundo trail which is a steady but not too steep climb through mixed redwood forest and what is now a dry creek. Would love to do this trail again in rainier years to see the creek flowing and find newts and banana slugs. Still, despite a dry year, the trails were pretty green and lush. The Raymundo trail ends and another fork to the right can take you up to Skyline via the Lonely Trail or stay straight on the Mt Redundo trail which takes you back to the start of the loop and the Miramontes trail (which is out and back to Huddart County park). I headed back on Mt Redundo and it was a bit steep downhill with some roots and rocks making for uneven footing. It also has some steep ravines so mind your step. This part of the trail was eerily quiet and not as bright, so I was happy to get back to the Miramontes trail that led me back to the more well traveled Huddart County park. Really lovely park with some of the nicest redwood trails on the peninsula. Review #49 of 100 review goal in 2021

    Fantastic hike next to the more well-known Purisma Creek. We took Lonely Trail, then Raymundo…read moreTrail, then Mt. Redondo trail and back up the Lonely Trail. It was about 6 miles. There's parking on Skyline Boulevard past Kings Mountain Fire Brigade -- just a handful of spots by the side of the road. It's downhill until you get to the juncture of Raymundo and Mt. Redondo, then straight back up again. My thighs were burning up and I had to stop and rest a bunch of times. Overall, the hike too about 3 hours and 15 minutes. My favorite part was the Raymundo Trail because you hike right next to a stream. There was plenty of water in the stream, probably because it has rained recently. Actually, most of the hike was next to a stream of some sort. You could hear water the whole time which was cool. Another great thing about this hike is that it's shady the whole way. Lots of pretty redwoods to look at. There were lots of very muddy parts on this trail. Also, the Miramontes trail, which connects Mt Redondo trail to Huddart County Park, was closed, due to the rain. We ran into three other couples on the trail during our hike. Very quiet trail! Really quite a hidden gem.
