Los Angeles Fire Department

The Los Angeles Fire Department serves millions of residents across the city of Los Angeles. Operating 24 hours a day, firefighters respond to fires, medical emergencies, vehicle accidents, technical rescues, and large scale disasters. Through coordinated response systems and highly trained personnel, the department maintains one of the most advanced emergency response systems.

Department Overview

Firefighters must be prepared to respond to many types of emergencies ranging from structure fires to wildland fires across California terrain.
