My dad was LAFD for 36 years. To give you context to what I seen growing up. I’m 41 years old, and I seen him going into the first interstate bank during a bomb scare that was all over the news, dangerous situations where he was treated for smoke inhalation, he was shot at in his rig for 72 hours during the riots in 92. And after all of this, he spent his twilight years and end of tenure in pacific palisades at 69s. Welcome to the fold, maam. Never stop showing up. 💯

I have my interview in two days for the fire department (in my area) and it’s been a rigorous and humbling process (I’ve been at it for a year) unintentionally this video came up on my feed and I have no doubt I’ve made the right decision applying for the fire dept.

Great story I had a family member who worked at 52's back in the 60's I remember the old seagrave engines I actually took a ride on one in the 60's out of 35's on hill Hurst in Hollywood 82 used to have an old mack you could here it coming blocks away they used to have 4 on tailboard, I lived my dream in Central coast area with a dept there mutual aids were interesting

Legends on this job, most of them retired or close to it, walked those floors, sat with smokes in that kitchen over cups of coffee. These guys where the old school fire dept and the best to do it. Inside those 4 walls lafd history was made............
