Meet Everyday Hero
Khristina Hunter
Khristina Hunter is a 6-year member of the San Francisco Fire Department. For a lot of us, if we could fill those hero boots, it would be enough. But when both of your parents are San Francisco Fire Fighters, and your mom is the first Black woman firefighter in the department, you might look at that as just the starting point.
As San Francisco Fire Departments diversity, equity, and inclusion officer Khristina works to create a culture in the fire service that reflects the city of San Francisco’s diversity.
Do You Know an Everyday Hero?
In addition to being a firefighter at Station 25 at 3rd and Cargo, she also holds the position of diversity, equity, and inclusion officer in the newly created REAP: Racial Equity Action Plan. The focus of this role is to create a culture in the fire service that reflects the city of San Francisco’s diversity. She is also involved with the San Francisco Fire Youth Academy that works to open pathways to work in the SFFD for under-represented teens.
When she is not working to improve the representation of our community in SFFD’s, Khristina volunteers in the community. Khristina says, “It’s nice to have the opportunity to step up and help during this time.” And she does. In addition to volunteering to administer vaccinations and covid test swabs, and at health screenings, she also volunteers at food drives, food delivery, as-well-as back-to-school events like backpack drives.
