TheLos Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) providesfirefighting andemergency medical services for the unincorporated parts ofLos Angeles County, California,^[1] as well as 59 cities throughcontracting, including the city ofLa Habra,^[4] which is located inOrange County and is the first city outside of Los Angeles County to contract with LACoFD.

As of 2021^[update], the department is responsible for just over 4 million residents spread out in over 1.2 million housing units across an area of 2,305 square miles (5,970 km²).^[1] The department is commanded byChief Anthony C. Marrone and has an annual budget of $1.4 billion.^[5] According toFirehouse magazine, the LACoFD is the fourth busiest department in the United States, behindNew York City Fire Department,Chicago Fire Department, andLos Angeles City Fire Department.^[6] The LACoFD has been featured several times in popular culture, including the 1970s NBC TV seriesEmergency! and the 1950s TV seriesRescue 8.

In 2021, the department engaged in 312,550 emergency medical responses and a total of 403,924 total responses.

History

[edit]

In 1949, the Consolidated Fire Protection District was established by the Board of Supervisors through the consolidation of numerous fire districts which existed since the 1920s. From 1967 to 1986, there existed four fire protection districts within the Los Angeles County, all of which were governed by the Board of Supervisors: the Consolidated Fire Protection District (CFPD), Universal Fire Protection District, Dominguez Fire Protection District, and Wrightwood Fire Protection District. In addition, there was the Forester and Fire Warden (F&FW) which is a chartered office of the County and was funded by the General Fund. The property tax rate for each district was considerably different.

With the property tax limitations and standardization of tax rates established by Proposition 13 in 1978, there was no longer a need to maintain the separate districts. From 1986 to 1992, the F&FW and the CFPD were the two remaining legal entities that made up what is commonly known as the Los Angeles County Fire Department. In 1992, the CFPD annexed all the remaining unincorporated area in with a corresponding property tax transfer to fulfill the chartered responsibilities of the F&FW. The Los Angeles County Fire Department has a very rich and unique history, which is full of innovation, and daring accomplishments. From designing the 9-1-1 system and initiating a paramedic program in the 1970s to the current day Urban Search and Rescue and Homeland Security Sections, our Fire Department is a leader and model to fire departments around the world. Our Department's ability to develop new techniques and tactics to fight fires of all kinds has benefited not only the residents we serve, but the fire service in general, both nationally and internationally.^[7]

Emergency operations

[edit]

The Emergency Operations Bureau includes the Training and EMS Bureau (TEMSB), nine major firefighting divisions, Air and Wildland Division, and Homeland Security Section. The Fire Department's service area includes suburban neighborhoods, city centers, commercial district, sandy beaches, mountain ranges, and more. The region's varying terrain causes unique emergency incident challenges, including increased EMS calls and variety of fires that can take place on a single day (i.e., wildland, structure, railroad, aircraft, vehicle, etc.) as well as ocean rescues and medical calls across 72 miles of coastline.^[7]

Fire suppression camps

[edit]

The LACoFD has 10 fire camps withhandcrews which are used for bothfire prevention andwildland firefighting. In 2013, to help combat jail crowding as well as increase time served by serious criminal offenders,Los Angeles County sent more than 500 inmates to firefighting camps in mountain and foothill areas.^[8] Inmates assigned to the camps are nonviolent offenders who have completed physical and security screenings. They are trained by county firefighters to help fight fires and assist with clearing brush and debris.^[9] The camps are run in conjunction with theCalifornia Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and theLos Angeles County Probation Department.

Apparatus

[edit]

The Los Angeles County Fire Department utilizes a wide array of firefighting apparatus, includingengines,quints,trucks, light forces (engine + quint or truck),patrol units, andwater tenders. Support apparatus includerescue squads,hazardous materials squads, andurban search and rescue squads.^[1] LACoFD uses private ambulance providers such asCare Ambulance Service and McCormick Ambulance Service to provideemergency medical services.^[10]

LACoFD apparatus are painted reddish-orange as opposed toLAFD apparatus, which arefire engine red.

Tiller trucks

[edit]

While many modern fire departments have opted to go withtrucks/quints that have rear-mounted ladders, the LACoFD has chosen to stay withtiller trucks because of their enhanced maneuverability in tight areas.^[11] The benefit of aquint is that it also has a built in pump and water tank and can thus operate without an engine. The Tiller trucks carry fire suppression tools and medical equipment as well as specialized rescue equipment for responses to a variety of emergencies.

Helicopters

[edit]

As of March 2022,Rosenbauer America announced a new contract to produce 11 tractor drawn aerial ladder trucks for the LA County Fire Department.^[17] The order also sees manufacturing an unknown amount of engines for the department.^[18]^{[citation needed]}

As of March 2025, The LA County Fire Department conducted a three day long familiarization program of two Rosenbauer TDAs that were delivered. The program included inspections, testing, and training with over 100 LACoFD personnel including 30 mechanics and 75 firefighters.^[19]

As of June 2025, Rosenbauer America announced that the LACoFD has received a delivery of 11 tractor drawn aerial quints, and 8 custom pumper trucks.^[19] The first TDA is expected to go to Station 126 inSanta Clarita.^{[citation needed]}
