Los Angeles County Fire 911 Dispatch

While many celebrated the 4th of July, your LACoFD Dispatchers & Command Staff were hard at work, keeping the county safe through the night. With augmented staffing and dedicated personnel, the calls never stopped—and neither did they. 🇺🇸🔥9️⃣1️⃣1️⃣

💐 Happy Mother’s Day to our incredible Command & Control moms! 💐

Today, we honor the strength, compassion, and dedication you show every day—both at home and on the job. Thank you for the countless moments you spend away from your families to serve the residents of Los Angeles County. Your commitment does not go unnoticed, and we are deeply grateful for your service.
Wishing you a day filled with love, appreciation, and well-deserved recognition.

Today, Al “Action” Jackson hangs up his headset for the last time.

Al started out his Public Safety adventure in 1976 as a LACoFD Fire Explorer in Battalion 13. Over the years, Al was a Call Firefighter in Johnson Valley, Reserve Firefighter/Engineer in Hesperia, Dispatcher at BDC Comm Center, and finally landed back at LACoFD Command & Control. During his 32 1/2 years at LACC, he rose to the rank of Supervising Fire Dispatcher. Al’s knowledge in Public Safety Communications was always instrumental throughout his career, including his involvement of the yearly publication “TMAC” and numerous “MTZ” comm plans.

This afternoon, Al will be “the voice of LA” one last time on Countywide Dispatch U-1. There may even be some old school Quickcall I tones!

Congratulations on a great career, Action. Thank you for your passion and love for this great Department. We’ll miss you!

Two heroes, who paid the ultimate sacrifice while serving the community yesterday. We stand with El Monte Police Officers, Dispatchers & Staff keeping them in our thoughts.

Today your Dispatchers received “mutual aid” themselves, allowing some of our on duty members to attend the funeral for Dispatcher Sergio Escobedo.

We would like to thank our past Dispatchers now Los Angeles County Fire Department Firefighters, Long Beach Fire Department Dispatchers, & Glendale Fire Department “Verdugo” Dispatchers for helping our center today.

CELEBRATING OUR LACoFD DISPATCHERS!

This week, we celebrate our Los Angeles County Fire 911 Dispatch dispatchers — and dispatchers everywhere — for always answering the call as the first, first-responder.

We commend our 9-1-1 dispatchers for their passion, dedication, hard work, commitment, and ability to rapidly address emergency response needs and to assist firefighters with critical requests.

Your is deeply saddened at the unexpected passing today of Fire Dispatcher II Sergio Escobedo at the age of 43.

Sergio was a United States Air Force veteran, and gave 15 years of dedicated and faithful service to the Department.

Sergio loved the Dodgers, and was always ready to share his endless supply of candy. He will be deeply missed by his dispatch family as he always brought laughs with his sense of humor.
