This morning, Your LAFD assisted Burbank Fire Department with a litter basket operation to rescue an adult male patient with a serious leg injury, trapped on the river bed. These types of technical rescues require clear communications at each level - the aerial ladder operator, the safety officer, the firefighters performing patient care and rigging. All the way up the chain. The operation was smooth, efficient and safe. Great to work with you Burbank Fire Department. See you next time. | Los An

Repost from @lafdists . The LAFD and the City of Los Angeles just became a little safer. Through the collaboration and support of the Fire Foundation, we were able to purchase 237 FLIR K65 Thermal Imaging Cameras. These cameras will enhance firefighter safety, improve search and rescue operations, and increase our effectiveness on the fireground. Thank you to everyone who contributed their efforts in training and helped make this program a reality. #trainasifyourlifedependsonitbecauseitdoes #laf
