Gashouse Cove Fuel Dock at Risk | San Jose News

San Francisco’s lifeline fuel dock, Gashouse Cove, is set to shut down next year amid a major waterfront redevelopment — but its closure could cripple emergency response operations. Used by Coast Guard, fire, and police boats, this vital northern waterfront hub recently powered nine of eleven vessels during a high-stakes Alcatraz rescue. Owner Christine Kaplan, who’s run the dock for 50 years, calls it a critical emergency service — not just a convenience — where victims have been saved and paramedics have landed. With no guarantee of reopening and no clear plan from city officials, the dock’s demise could leave emergency crews scrambling for alternatives, jeopardizing response times in future crises.
