Every dollar raised will help the L.A. County Fire Department purchase critical lifesaving equipment, fund special community programs, provide training, development, and wellness programs, and enhance facilities. The Foundation is committed to transparency and will act in good faith, and in the best interests of donors, the the community, and the Fire Department to further the Department’s mission and objectives.
