In addition to the fire protection and life safety services we provide, The County of Los Angeles Fire Department also provides information about the special programs and events available to anyone who is interested in personal and public safety. Whether it is during an earthquake, a fire, or even at the poolside, knowledge and preparedness is the key to safety and survival.

Special programs, such as the Junior Lifeguards, Rescue Youth, and the Junior Fire Chief’s are designed to get the younger generation thinking about safety at an early age. Establishing good habits now will aid them and their families today and serve them throughout their lives.

The Safe Surrender and Safehouse programs provide shelter and support to the innocent, and help to provide and extra amount of protection for all of the citizens of the County of Los Angeles. The C.E.R.T. program furthers this cause by helping to train communities how to provide for themselves and others during a major emergency, when help may be far away.

This section has been designed to provide information that will help you and your family to become more safety conscious and prepared for an emergency. Specialized information is available here that will to assist you, not only during an emergency, but long before it occurs.
