Los Angeles (i/lɒs ˈændʒəlᵻs/ loss AN-jə-ləs or loss AN-jə-liss) (Spanish for "The Angels"), officially the City of Los Angeles and often known by its initials L.A., is the second-largest city in the United States after New York City, the most populous city in the state of California, and the county seat of Los Angeles County.
Situated in Southern California, Los Angeles is known for its mediterranean climate, ethnic diversity, sprawling metropolis, and as a major center of the American entertainment industry. Los Angeles lies in a large coastal basin surrounded on three sides by mountains reaching up to and over 10,000 feet (3,000 m).
Historically home to the Chumash and Tongva, Los Angeles was claimed by Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo for Spain in 1542 along with the rest of what would become Alta California. The city was officially founded on September 4, 1781, by Spanish governor Felipe de Neve. It became a part of Mexico in 1821 following the Mexican War of Independence. In 1848, at the end of the Mexican–American War, Los Angeles and the rest of California were purchased as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, thereby becoming part of the United States. Los Angeles was incorporated as a municipality on April 4, 1850, five months before California achieved statehood. The city experienced rapid growth with the discovery of oil.
A fire department (United States and Canada) or fire brigade (United Kingdom and Commonwealth) (also known as a fire and rescue service or simply fire service) is a public or private organization that provides predominantly emergency firefighting and rescue services for a certain jurisdiction, which is typically a municipality, county, or fire protection district. A fire department usually contains one or more fire stations within its boundaries, and may be staffed by career firefighters, volunteer firefighters, or a combination thereof (referred to as a combination department).
A fire department may also provide "fire protection" or fire prevention services, whereby firefighters visit homes and give fire safety advice and fit smoke alarms for members of the public. In many countries fire protection or prevention is seen as an important role for the fire service, as preventing a fire from occurring in the first place can save lives and property.
Fire departments are organized in a system of administration, services, training, and operations; for example:
LACoFD 142nd Recruit Class, January 25th May 20th 2016.
Fire station 8 in West Hollywood empties for a fire call just a few blocks away: Light Force 8, Squad 8 and Engine 8 of the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) responding. Light Force 8 consists of Truck 8 - a tillered ladder quint - and Engine 208. Some firefighters were in a shop when the call came in so that they had to run back to the station. Die komplette Feuerwache 8 in West Hollywood wird zu einem Feuer ein paar Straßenblöcke weiter alarmiert. Es rücken aus die Drehleiter, die beiden Löschfahrzeuge sowie die Rettungseinheit der Wache. Einige Feuerwehrmänner waren gerade beim Einkaufen als der Alarm reinkam, sie mussten zur Wache zurücksprinten. by Dirk Steinhardt - http://www.rescue911.de - http://www.rescue-tube.com - West Hollywood, Los Angeles County, California, USA -...
Los Angeles County Fire Department Recruitment video recently found on VHS, unsure of the year this video was made but looks to be in the 1980's. Some of the original music that was used has been taken off the video due to copyright claims. New music was added so this video could still be shared as it is apart of history. This video is for education purposes and is to be considered "Fair Use" Any copyrights go to the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
This is the station that was used to represent exterior shots of LACoFD Station 51 in the 1970s TV show Emergency! The interior of the station is nearly identical to how it was in the TV show, right down to the wooden cabinets in the changing room. I made a pilgrimage to L.A. during Labor Day weekend 2010 to see and pay homage to this station. The on-duty fire fighters were great -- they answered all my questions, and let me spend as long as I wanted in the station.

Training video from the LA City Fire Department from the late 90s. Some great saw-work on this one.
Stand down, beat it in, eyes closed tight
It was cold last year when you blocked me out
Our ships went down on that night
These hearts were drowning but you bought me out
This time I'm held up by a safety pin
Safety pin oh a safety pin
Stuck and sewn up like a mannequin
A mannequin, mannequin, mannequin
You can call the god damn fire department
That's the last time I'll ever let you in
You can call the god damn fire department
That's the last time I'll ever let you in
Carve out, belt up, I can see
You see me drowning but you block me out
Our ships were sunk on that night
These hearts were drowning but you bought me out
This time I'm held up by a safety pin
Safety pin oh a safety pin
Stuck and sewn up like a mannequin
A mannequin, mannequin, mannequin
Just don't, just don't even use you lungs
Cause that's the last time I'll ever let you in
Just don't, just don't even use you damn lungs
Cause that's the last time I'll ever let you in
Bloodshot eyes and I look up
You take the water from my lungs to fill your cup
This is no longer fair
This is no longer fair
This is no longer fair
This is no longer fair!
This time I'm held up by a safety pin
Safety pin oh a safety pin
Stuck and sewn up like a mannequin
A mannequin, mannequin, mannequin
You can call the god damn fire department
That's the last time I'll ever let you in
You can call the god damn fire department
That's the last time I'll ever let you in
This time I'm held up by a safety pin
Safety pin oh a safety pin
Stuck and sewn up like a mannequin
A mannequin, mannequin, mannequin
Just don't, just don't even use you lungs
Cause that's that last time I'll ever let you in
Just don't, just don't even use you damn lungs
