The County Facilities Unit (CFU) was established to facilitate Fire Department plan check and field inspection activity for new construction projects for many of the 36 Los Angeles County Departments. The assigned FPEA’s are responsible for all required plan reviews on an as needed basis. The Inspector and Captain devote their time almost exclusively to County Facilities (buildings) under construction or concept consideration. Most often, this responsibility requires acting as the Fire Department’s liaison and / or representative for those county facility projects located in the jurisdiction of other fire departments.

Although new construction is the predominate focus of the CFU, other activities include special projects, existing county facilities, new construction occurring within the County, or other assignments which require the expertise of the CFU. The objective of the unit is to coordinate the activities necessary to ensure County Facilities comply with appropriate standards for Fire Prevention, Fire Control, & Life Safety from beginning design review through final occupancy inspection. When necessary, the CFU will assist in the resolution of other related issues.Some of the projects the Unit has been involved with include the newly constructed Disney Concert Hall and the LA County/USC Medical Center reconstruction and addition.
