The County of Los Angeles Fire Department (LACoFD) welcomed a new cohort of fire fighter specialists (FFS).
These 46 individuals recently completed the reimagined FFS Academy hosted by the Training Services Division. Fire fighter specialists perform specialized fire suppression, prevention, and control activities. Fire fighter specialists are also known as engineers and drive the apparatus.
Effective June 25, 2025, each FFS in this training academy began a new promotional assignment.
We wish all newly promoted FFSs well in their new assignments!
