Fall, the County Clerk for Los Angeles County organized Engine Company No. 1. It was a volunteer firefighting force with an Amoskeag fire engine and a hose jumper (cart). The equipment was hand-drawn to fires. In the spring of 1874, the fire company asked the Los Angeles City Council to purchase horses to pull the engine. The Council refused and the fire company disbanded.WEB,weblink The Volunteers, 1871 to 1885, Los Angeles Fire Department Historical Archive, September 5, 2006, Many of the former members of Engine Company No. 1 reorganized under the name of Thirty-Eights No. 1 in May 1875, Engine Co. No. 2 was organized under the name Confidence Engine Company.Los Angeles acquired its first "hook and ladder" truck for the Thirty-Eights. It proved to be too cumbersome and was ill-adapted to the needs of the city. It was sold to the city of Wilmington. In 1876, another "hook and ladder" truck was purchased, serving in the city until 1881.In 1878, a third fire company was formed by the residents in the neighborhood of Sixth Street and Park. It was given the name of "Park Hose Co. No. 1". East Los Angeles formed a hose company named "East Los Angeles Hose Co. No. 2" five years later. The final volunteer company was formed in the fall of 1883 in the Morris Vineyard area. This company was called "Morris Vineyard Hose Co. No.3."All of these companies remained in service until February 1, 1886, when the present paid fire department came into existence.In 1877, the first horses were bought for the city fire department. The department would continue to use horses for its equipment for almost fifty years, phasing out the last horse drawn equipment on July 19, 1921.WEB,weblink The Era of the Horses 1886 to 1921, Los Angeles Fire Department Historical Archive, September 5, 2006, By 1900, the department had grown to 18 fire stations with 123 full-time paid firefighters and 80 fire horses. The city had also installed 194 fire-alarm boxes allowing civilians to sound the alarm if a fire was spotted. 660 fire hydrants were placed throughout the city, giving firefighters access to a reliable water source.WEB,weblink The Era of the Horses 1886 to 1921, Los Angeles Fire Department Historical Archive, September 5, 2006,weblink" title="web.archive.org/web/20060902000423weblink">weblink September 2, 2006, In 1955 Station 78 in Studio City became the first racially integrated station in the department.JOURNAL, Los Angeles Ends Jim Crow Fire Department, Jet, January 13, 1955, 7, 10,weblink August 29, 2011, Company, Johnson Publishing, Since 1978 the LAFD has provided emergency medical and fire suppression services to the city of San Fernando by contract weblink {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}In responses to the 2020 pandemic, the LAFD has helped to administer the COVID-19 vaccine to residents from Los Angeles.

!Title!ExplanationTypes of apparatus
The department utilizes a wide array of apparatus and equipment. These are most but not all of the apparatus.Triple combination engines
(File:LAFD engine 11 Alvarado 2015-10-18.jpg|thumb|LAFD Engine Co. 11 responding to an emergency call.)The triple combination fire engine or âtripleâ (as it is commonly called) is the most common type of firefighting apparatus in Los Angeles. The term âtriple combinationâ refers to the apparatus having three components; water tank, high capacity water pump, and hose. The triple can be found as a one-piece engine company or as two engines assigned to a Task Force station. The âtriplesâ used by the LAFD have a direct drive, dual centrifuge main pump rated at 1,500 GPM at 150 psi with a 10-foot lift through a 6-inch suction. These apparatus carry a combination of all of the following sizes of hose; 4â³, 2{{frac|1|2}}â³, 1 3/4â³, 1 1/2â³ and 1â³. The standard hose load is 750' of 4", 750' of 2 1/2" with a 325GPM nozzle, 400' of 1 3/4" with a 200 GPM nozzle, 400' of 1 1/2" with a 125 GPM nozzle and 500' of 1" with a dual gallonage 10/40 GPM nozzle. The water tank carrying capacity of all LAFD engines is 500 gallons. All frontline engines are equipped with a 30-gallon Class A foam injection system with the exception of Engine 51 at LAX that carries Class B foam in the onboard system. These apparatus are staffed by four members, including a captain who is the company commander, an engineer responsible for driving, maintaining and operating the pump, and two firefighters. A number of triples in the LAFD are also paramedic assessment companies â meaning they include a firefighter/paramedic as part of the crew. All engines are equipped with fire suppression gear as well as basic rescue equipment and emergency medical services equipment.Light Forces and Task Forces
(File:Firefighting ladder trucks.jpg|thumb|LAFD on the scene of a Major Emergency Structure Fire)The LAFD uses the concept of Light Forces and Task Forces which can be considered one "Resource", although comprising more than one unit or company.WEB,weblink Apparatus, Los Angeles Fire Department, 2014-02-07, A Light Force is composed of a Pump Engine (200 Series, for example Engine 201 or Engine 301 for 100 stations) and a Ladder Truck.WEB, Deployment Plan,weblink The South Robertson Neighborhoods Council, 3 March 2015, Light forces will almost always respond together as one unit or resource.A Task Force is simply a Light Force coupled with an Engine. An Engine Company is considered a single unit or "resource" when responding to incidents on its own. A Task Force usually responds to larger incidents, such as structural fires, and is made up of an Engine, a 200 Series Engine (Pump), and a Truck, all operating together. While a standard Engine is always staffed with a full crew, a 200 Series Engine (Pump)is only staffed by a driver (and one other firefighter if responding as part of a Light Force). The purpose of the 200 Series Engine (Pump) is to provide support and equipment to the Truck in a Light Force, and either the Truck Company or the Engine Company in a Task Force.Rescue Ambulances
File:LAFD paramedic 11 Alvarado 2015-10-18.jpg|thumb|Rescue Ambulance 11 responding to a call near MacArthur ParkMacArthur ParkRescue Ambulances (RAs), often called 'rescues' for short, can be considered either Paramedic/advanced life support (ALS), or Emergency Medical Technician/basic life support (BLS) units. Ambulances number 1-112 are frontline Advanced Life Support Units staffed by 2 firefighter / paramedics, while those in the 200 series are Advanced Life Support reserve units.WEB, EMS Resources,weblink Los Angeles Fire Department, 3 March 2015, Ambulances in the 800s & 900s are Basic Life Support Units staffed by 2 firefighter EMTs, with 900-series units assigned to Stations identified numerically over 100. Rescue Ambulances have Cardiac Defibrillators and Monitors, Cardiac Drugs, Intubation and Airway supplies and other equipment for Emergency Medical Responses.Helicopters
