    The origins of the Los Angeles Fire Department date back to the year 1871. In September of that year, George M. 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. Many of the former members of Engine Company No. 1 reorganized under the name Thirty-Eights No. 1 in May 1875, Engine Co. No. 2 was organized under the name Confidence Engine Company.

    In 1875, 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, itself now a neighborhood of Los Angeles. 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". In 1883, East Los Angeles formed a hose company named "East Los Angeles Hose Co. No. 2". 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." 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.

    On February 1, 1886, the Los Angles Fire Department was officially formed and went into service with four fire stations, two steam powered 750 gallon per minute pumpers, each housed with a two-wheel hose reel, a hook and ladder truck, a hose wagon and 11 horses. On that day the city began to pay 31 firefighters, including a chief engineer and an assistant chief, for a service which, for 15 years, had been provided virtually without pay by 380 members of the Los Angeles Volunteer Fire Department, Most of the paid, or permanent men as they were officially designated, were former volunteers who took over the existing stations and equipment. Augmenting the permanent force were 24 reserve firefighters - most likely they were former volunteers also, who were , starting that day, to be paid a small annual honorarium.

    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. Lastly, 660 fire hydrants were placed throughout the city, giving firefighters access to a reliable water source. In 1955, fire station 78 in Studio City became the first racially integrated station in the LAFD.

    Since 1978, the LAFD has provided emergency medical and fire suppression services to the city of San Fernando by contract.

    In 2022, Kristin Crowley became the first female, and the first openly gay, chief of the LAFD.
