We received word from the LA City Clerk that our UFLAC led citizen initiative to FundLAFire.com has received enough valid signatures to qualify for the November 2026 ballot. Thank you to everyone who supported our efforts to hire additional firefighters and paramedics, build more fire stations, and purchase more fire trucks, engines, and ambulances in the most understaffed big city fire department in America. This initiative isn't about politics. It's about finally funding the @LAFD with guaranteed, dedicated revenue so that we can show up on time when just a matter of seconds can mean the difference between life and death. ππ

Before most of the city had finished their morning coffee, over 60 @LAFD firefighters were battling a stubborn structure fire at the Greater New Holy Trinity Missionary Baptist Church in South LA. It took over 60 firefighters 2 hours to extinguish the fire. LAFD Arson is investigating the cause.

Today, June 5th, is the 9-year anniversary of the tragic passing of @LAFD Firefighter Kelly Wong, who died on June 5, 2017, from injuries sustained during an on duty training exercise. At just 29 years old, Kellyβs commitment to service to our city was only surpassed by the love he had for his family, especially his wife, Danielle, and his son, Colton. UFLAC honors memory and celebrates his life, today and always. May God Bless and watch out for the Wong family.

At one of the busiest fire stations in America, @LAFD Firefighters at Station 11 in Pico Union respond to an average of 41 emergency calls each day. About 80% of these responses, ranging from drug overdoses and assaults to structure fires and medical emergencies, are directly related to the homelessness crisis. The current situation is simply unsustainable and has got to change.

Last night, the angels watching over LA were clearly looking out for our firefighters and the public. In what could have been a devastating tragedy, @LAFD Engine 274 was responding to an emergency in Sunland when it overturned in a collision. Two firefighters went to the hospital but thankfully escaped without serious injury and there are no reports of civilian injuries. This is another powerful reminder of the dangers our firefighters face every single day in service to others. π

Some fires leave scars far beyond the flames.
May 16th marks the six-year anniversary of the Boyd Street Fire and explosion in Downtown Los Angeles. Eleven @LAFD firefighters were sent to the Burn Center, careers were forever changed as a result of that day. UFLAC honors the bravery of our members then, and every day, as they continue serving the City of Los Angeles.
Never forget their courage and their sacrifice.
