Los Angeles County Fire Department
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD), serves unincorporated parts of Los Angeles County, as well as 58 cities and towns that choose to have the county provide fire and EMS services, including the City of La Habra, in Orange County. It should not be confused with the Los Angeles Fire Department, which serves the city of Los Angeles.
The department was featured in the 1970s television series Emergency!, which dramatized a department paramedic rescue squad; and before that, in the 1958 t.v. series Rescue 8, which featured a rescue squad prior to the practice of squad members also being trained as paramedics.
