A True Success!
Saturday May 11th, was not your typical Saturday. No this Saturday was something special. Just over 40 Members of the Los Angeles Fire Department CERT Program clearly demonstrated their commitment to Community and the LAFD once again. The Los Angeles Fire Department’s annual #FireServiceDay is an “Open House” for the 106 Fire Stations serving Los Angeles. Residents have the opportunity to meet their local Firefighters and see live demonstrations….However, this Year’s Theme, “#BeDisasterReady” highlighted the Excellent Team Work between Professional Firefighters and our Professional Volunteers.

From Sherman Oaks to San Pedro, LAFD Cert Members were in full force. CERT facilitated hands on demonstrations in some of the basic life saving skills you learn when attending Cert Training such as bandaging and shutting down a Home Natural Gas Meter.

The Los Angeles Fire Department CERT Unit, especially the Unit Commander Captain Weireter, could not be more proud of our Members. Thank You Lafd Cert and assisting Team Members. Your actions directly contributed to the success of #FireServiceDay2019

A Very Special Congratulations Dr. Carolyn Burleson, named LAFD Central Honorary Fire Chief during Fire Service Day! Carolyn, your dedication as an LAFD CERT Bureau Coordinator coupled with your Commitment and Service within the Community, Speaks Volumes. Well Deserved!
