Not since the 100 year anniversary has a book about the history of the LAFD been published. Now, in collaboration with Faircourt Media Group, a new 125 year softcover book at the LAFD is finally available.
The book provides an interesting look at the history of the Department, as well as a historian perspective on the LAFD today. The LAFD is unique in that it operates on Land, Sea and in the Air, and this book takes a close look at the historic operations of the Department, including major incidents.
This book was a labor of love and those who contributed have a long history with the Department. The LAFD Historical Society's Ted Aquaro, Frank Borden, and Donald Dodd were editorial contributors, and Director of Operations Frank Borden compiled the materials. Additional support from the LAFD and the Los Angeles Fireman's Relief Association was provided by Brian Humphrey (PSO, B-Platoon), and Eric H. Seeger. A number of individuals contributed photographs and illustrations. To learn more about this new publication, please visit either museum facility.
