Who Are the First Responders?

First responders run toward the threats and dangers that most of us try to escape. They respond to medical emergencies, fires, natural and human disasters, accidents and more. The Los Angeles Fire Department is first at the scene to protect lives, property and the environment. more >

Why they Need Your Help

Every 36 seconds a unit of your LAFD rolls out to a medical emergency, a fire or a car accident. The city budget is stretched, and the Fire Department is often asked to do without. Their “can do” attitude has resulted in limited resources to do their job. Imagine working with computers that are more than ten years old, flying at night without night vision goggles, buying tools for work from your personal budget. They are here for us, and we need to be here for them! more >

Our Mission

Responding to priorities set by the Fire Department, we create partnerships to provide resources, programs and equipment that assist firefighters and paramedics in protecting life, property and the environment. They have a tradition of service at the highest level. We are supporting them in maintaining that tradition. more >
