LA Fire & Rescue is a documentary series about first responders and follows the ins and outs of the Los Angeles County Fire Department. The LACoFD is responsible for protecting the lives and property of four million residents of 59 cities in Los Angeles County, and the LACoFD's 2,300 square miles of service is unique in the United States.
From helicopter mountain rescues and lifeguard SOS to fire boats, hazardous materials and California's raging wildfires, the department does it all. The first responders featured in the first season include Station 8 (West Hollywood), Station 16 (Watts), Station 37 (Palmdale), Station 41 (Compton), Station 101 (Claremont), Station 125 (Calabasas). and Station 172 (Inglewood), as well as the air operations known as the “Angels in the Sky” and the L.A. County Fire Department Lifeguard Division.
