@lafdfoundation: The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) operates a top-flight Air Operations Unit at Fire Station 114 on the grounds of Van Nuys Airport (KVNY). The LAFD helicopter fleet is a combination of Medium and Light-duty helicopters and is staffed 24/7 by a crew of pilots, aeromedics, and helitac members. The LAFD Air Operations provides brush fire suppression, air ambulance transport, high-rise fire response, and hoist rescues. We're thrilled to announce that the LAFD Foundation helped LAFD Air Operations acquire a new Bell 505 helicopter, replacing one of the two aging Bell 206B light-duty helicopters. This cutting-edge aircraft will enhance the department's response capabilities and ensure the safety of Los Angeles residents. #losangelesfiredept #lafd #lafdairops #firefighter #firefightertiktok #firefighterlife #firefighterpost
