Today I joined @UFLAC President Freddy Escobar to assist with the administration of the 1st mobile public COVID-19 tests in our City. @MayorOfLA asked your @LAFD to step up during this unprecedented crisis & we did. I would never ask my FFs to do something I wouldn’t do myself.

Happy to announce that your @LAFD has agreed to purchase the first electric fire engine in North America from @RosyFire & @RosenbauerGroup. We look forward to adding it to our fleet early next year. Check out the video for details.

Yesterday I saw firsthand the latest in robotic firefighting technology and it was very impressive! Check out the video ⬇️ Your @LAFD leads the way!

2019 set @LAFD records. We responded to 499,167 incidents, the most ever! That’s an average of 1,368 calls for service everyday; 4,109 structure fire incidents—11 per day & 215,605 patient transports—591 per day. Honored to provide world-class Fire & EMS service to Angelenos.

When it’s Christmas Day and you’re back in the field in that orange helmet as a Task Force Commander. Happy to be working a 24 hour shift on the truck at FS 20, proudly serving #EchoPark. Merry Christmas from all of us at your @LAFD

Your @LAFD is partnering with @UFLAC in November to promote awareness of men’s health issues and I’ve authorized our members to wear these shirts on duty this month. Proceeds from shirt sales will go to cancer research orgs. Info: uflac.org

You're welcome! #BarhamFire

Quebec 1 & 2 have been deployed on the #BarhamFire in addition to @LACoFireAirOps @LAFDAirOps

Greg Doyle took some amazing photos of the recent fires in Southern California. His pictures that capture the #LAFD aerial firefight and the work of the frontline efforts to contain the wildfires are simply stunning.

The LA City Red Flag 🚩 Parking Restrictions are currently in effect and will remain so overnight. The restrictions will be lifted at 8:00 a.m. Saturday, October 26.

At 11:08 AM LAFD helicopter Fire 5, while performing water drops in the #PalisadesFire burn area, had a “bird strike” & made a precautionary landing at a near by helisopt to investigate. #LAFD mechanics confirmed no damage, no injury to personnel, and Fire 5 is back in service.👍🏼

Pretty soon you’ll start noticing some new signage on our fire engines, ladder trucks, rescue ambulances and other @LAFD apparatus. The word CITY was eliminated many years ago...but now it’s back. We are the Los Angeles CITY Fire Department. #callitacomeback

It’s always my distinct honor to represent the men & women of your @LAFD when we reflect upon the nearly 3,000 lives taken too soon on September 11, 2001. #NeverForget
