It's Important For The Kids...

Being a MySafe:LA Firefighter Volunteer is a great gig. Typically, it involves one day a month, and while there is no salary, food and fuel are paid for. Each MySafe:LA Firefighter Expert Presenter fills the same type of roll as that of an on-duty member. The difference being that on occasion, our team will present at a school or recreation and parks facility using off-duty members. The effects of the Modified Coverage Plan and other issues put a strain on resources, and at no time does our program interfere with emergency or operational readiness.

We're thrilled with our initial volunteer registration. To-date we have volunteers from the following battalions:

• Battalion 1
• Battalion 5
• Battalion 7
• Battalion 10
• Battalion 14

With 25 active members volunteering, we're seeking an additional 15 members. There is an added benefit if you have the following rank or certification:

• Engineer
• Paramedic
• FEMA TF-CA1 Member
• Pilot
