LAFD Photo Gallery: In the wake of multiple large wildfires burning in northern California, the Los Angeles Fire Department has received multiple questions. Here are four questions on the topic: 1. Is the LAFD helping, if so how? 2. With all those resources sent out of the City, is Los Angles safe? 3. What is Mutual Aid and how does it work in California? 4. When did Interagency Coordination start? Visit LAFD.org/news to find the answers.
