The Adopt-A-Fire-Station Program

Forty-eight percent of LAFD fire stations are in underserved communities. Fifty percent of LAFD fire stations are more than 50 years old. One hundred percent of any gift to the Adopt-A-Fire-Station program will directly and meaningfully address the unique needs at each of these fire stations. Learn how you can help improve living and working conditions for the firefighters who spend more than a third of their lives at the fire station, responding to every single call for service.
