The County of Los Angeles Fire Department currently has three opportunities for the public to get involved in public safety.

CALL FIREFIGHTER

The Department currently employs about 100 Volunteer Firefighters or Call Firefighters, who staff nine engine companies assigned to four battalions in three separate field divisions. Call Firefighters operate as first responders and are under the supervision and direction of Fire Captains at the nearest fully staffed Fire Station.

COMMUNITY EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM

This program helps to train the general public in basic disaster response skills, such as fire safety, light search and rescue, team organization, and disaster medical operations.
