InsideLAFD: Episode 1 Air Operations

There is so much that happens "behind the scenes" and we want to share ALL the hard work of #YourLAFD so we hope you'll come with us #InsideLAFD. For our first episode, we head out to Van Nuys for an in-depth look at LAFD Air Operations.

These guys are the best of the best.

I've seen you guys running code 3 but never in action I grew up just south of Los Angeles in Orange County regardless of where I grew up I still enjoy watching you guys in action keep up the great work

Angels in the sky🚁

[@Tomasek233]

Amazing video Thank you for showing this to us 👊🏻🚒

[@ricardoalva7625]

One of the best things I've done!

[@directormuseum1]

Excellent video!! Hope you have more in the future, i.e. Fireboats, Haz Mat, US&R, Swift Water, CERT to name a few.

[@dropbagit]

Let's see the crash rigs at Van Nuys and LAX!!

[@anthonymontes1500]

Oh man this job looks badass. I wonder if the LAFD hires Rescue Scuba Divers (I’m certified as one).

[@fightingirish8584]

Great video, LAFD! I would love to see a video, on the HazMat squads, roles, etc.

[@CobraEmergencyNorthAmerica]

That was awesome! I've seen Fire 5 in use tackling a brush fire in Burbank before, amazing skill to be able to fly so close and low to a burning hill-side to then drop water - just a few feet from homes as well.

[@samt9912]

This is a cool video , nice job guys.

[@SummerlinRealtor]

Awesome video LAFD!

[@JRKA]

Awesome video!!! Very cool how you hire pilots with prior LAFD experience.

[@thatzombieplace]

You guys should do what the dude over at Miami police does. Lafd vlogs would be awesome.

[@CJR505]

Flew goggles on UH-60’s (crew chief) in the Army. What’s it like flying goggles on a fire? Sounds pretty wild. How do the goggles handle the fires?

[@PfizerRN_USNavyReserveRN]

I think we have a few of these AW139s hanging around the State of New Jersey. Fly safe.

[@craigdeross8505]

Nice Video overall, but maybe for a future video maybe more around the ground ops portion would be cool. So why did LAFD decide to go with the Agusta and not the FireHawks like the County uses?

[@goranmiletic4254]

In what vehicles do you guys patrol? Can we have a video of a regular day of an LAFD member?

[@ehz4641]

I want to get into this type of work but I don’t know where to begin

[@DrLumpy]

Call 911. I'm vomiting after hearing that intro music.
