On this day and everyday, may we never forget those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our freedom. #MemorialDay
Three years ago today on May 16, 2020, a massive explosion and fire on Boyd Street in Downtown Los Angeles led to a Major Emergency with more than 230 Los Angeles Fire Department Firefighters on scene. A MAYDAY call was made when 11 Firefighters were trapped and burned. An additional firefighter was also injured on scene. Thankfully, these Firefighters from FS 9 in Skid Row were all rescued and admitted to the hospital for their injuries, with the last LAFD member being released after 65 days in the intensive burn unit.
The National Fallen Firefighters Foundation released a documentary on this MAYDAY incident titled "Boyd Street" that can be viewed by clicking the following link: vimeo.com/772618606
On behalf of the team at UFLAC, we want to wish all mothers a Happy Mother's Day!
Thank you, Councilwoman Traci Park, for always supporting and honoring the work of our LA City firefighters. We will always have your back.
