We are so proud of our Family Support Group and equally grateful to the LAFD Chaplains. This group consistently shows grace, courage and selflessness in the face of tragedy. This honor is well-deserved! 👏👏👏

We are so proud of this crew at Fire Station 86! Their heroic acts saved a family and its contributions from our donors and supporters that help them and their own families in times of need. 💛💙
LAFD Station 86 responded to a parent's worst nightmare: an unresponsive 3-year-old pulled from a Studio City pool. Arriving in 4 minutes, paramedics initiated advanced CPR. Within minutes, her heart beat again. Today, Keira and her family joined leadership to honor the crew.
