Your LAFD trains regularly and we step it up every weekend. Sometimes it's going over the basics and other times we prepare for the worst...
There is no other call more challenging to fire ground operations than the ‪#‎MAYDAY‬ call the unthinkable moment when a firefighter’s personal safety is in imminent danger. Firefighter fatality data has shown that firefighters becoming trapped and disoriented represent the largest portion of structural fire ground fatalities.

Time for morning coffee and plenty of fresh water for the reservoir stand of your natural Christmas Tree. It's also time to prepare for the removal and recycling of that tree. If you're a City of Los Angeles resident, learn more at http://bit.ly/1kkAdQQ
