To the editor: Watching the Rams-Vikings game on Monday night, it was impossible to miss supporting the Los Angeles Fire Department at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona.
But let's not forget the fire departments across Southern California who sent equipment and trucks to Pacific Palisades or Altadena. Or their colleagues who stayed in their communities safeguarding homes and businesses by working extra shifts to cover.
Early Sunday morning, I saw trucks from Downey, Montebello and Pasadena on a corner in West Los Angeles as the teams ate breakfast after a long night. I'm sure it's only a fraction of the cities that sent resources.
Let's give the LAFD its due and at the same time thank all the firefighters in Southern California.
