As the LAFD takes time from their more serious work to host (and hopefully, have a little fun at) their 12th annual Public Safety Appreciation BBQ today in downtown, here’s 1930 photo of SoCal firemen having a little fun (receiving new helmets). This photo is from the Los Angeles Public Library Photo Archives. Also, check out the Los Angeles Fire Department Historical Society for more on the history of LAFD.

The first LAFD member (or LAFD spouse/family member/girlfriend/boyfriend) to email us with their station number gets 2 tickets to see the Tony Award-winning play Cabaret by the Reprise Theatre Company at UCLA’s Freud Playhouse, Sept. 25 at 7pm. Be sure to include a phone number, so we can verify your info. The tickets are non-transferable.
This year marks the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. Shortly after the towers fell, Rick Godinez flew to New York as part of the Critical Incident Stress Management Team. What he confronted at the wreckage of the World Trade Center changed him and the country forever.

The Air Ops team is pretty amazing. We conducted a few interviews with these guys for a short video we’re putting together sometime down the road.
