As of 2021[update], the department is responsible for just over 4 million residents spread out in over 1.2 million housing units across an area of 2,305 square miles (5,970 km2).[1] The department is commanded by Chief Anthony C. Marrone and has an annual budget of $1.4 billion.[5] According to Firehouse magazine, the LACoFD is the fourth busiest department in the United States, behind New York City Fire Department, Chicago Fire Department, and Los Angeles City Fire Department.[6] The LACoFD has been featured several times in popular culture, including the 1970s NBC TV series Emergency! and the 1950s TV series Rescue 8.
In 2021, the department engaged in 312,550 emergency medical responses and a total of 403,924 total responses.
