"Those who knew Fire Captain Scott William Hall of the Berkeley Fire Department will not be surprised to learn that he took command of his first fire truck at age 3. Though not widely verbal at that age, he was already certain of his purpose quietly steering his toy engine with the same modest determination that would define his 38-year career in public safety, including 34 years of distinguished service with Berkeley Fire."
"Hall, 56, passed away peacefully at home on Nov. 28. He leaves behind his wife, Laura, their three adult children, and a legacy of unwavering devotion to his family, his department, and the community he served. In a career marked by dependability, colleagues cannot recall a single day he ever called in sick. Born in Mill Valley, Hall attended Mills High School before pursuing Emergency Medical Technician training and later paramedic school, where he met Jim Geissinger, a lifelong friend."
Scott William Hall completed a 38-year career in public safety, including 34 years with the Berkeley Fire Department. He died peacefully at home on Nov. 28 at age 56 and is survived by his wife, Laura, and three adult children. Born in Mill Valley and a Mills High School graduate, he trained as an Emergency Medical Technician and later as a paramedic, where he met lifelong friend Jim Geissinger. Colleagues remember Hall for never calling in sick, for mentoring recruits with patience and humor, and for ending calls with the understated line, "All good, babe." Visitation and services are scheduled in Santa Rosa.
