LA Fire Department Challenge Coins
LAFD Firefighters Serve With Courage, Integrity, and Pride
The LA Fire Department is a collection of men and women with a stronger than average dedication to service. The history of the department is seeded in such service as for the first 15 years of its existence, the LAFD was exclusively staffed by 380 volunteers. It was a monumental day when the city of Los Angeles decided to start paying these dedicated civil servants, but that ingrained sense of service never left the organization.
In the over 130 years since the official birth of the LAFD, the men and women who have protected Los Angeles have set themselves apart with great distinction and honor. Serving the over 4 million residents in a 471 square mile service area, the LAFD has become the third largest municipal fire department in the U.S. The 3,200 employees uphold the LAFD values by serving with courage, integrity, and pride each day. Custom Los Angeles challenge coins are the best way to honor their exceptional service.
When you choose Signature Coins to deliver your custom LA Fire Department challenge coins, you’re choosing a company with over 15 years experience providing challenge coins to firefighters, members of law enforcement and first responders across the nation. The men and women who protect and serve their communities day in and day out provide an invaluable service, and the least we can do is an honor that service with top quality custom coins. Our easy three step order process and 100% quality guarantee are just some of the small ways we choose to say thank you to the people going above and beyond for this country on a daily basis.
LA Fire Department Training Program Challenge Coins
With any new job, there’s always a period of training and adjustment. When becoming a firefighter, that training can be one of the most rigorous experiences of a person’s life. Every fire department offers training to its recruits, but one common question is how to set these training regiments apart from one another. The use of firefighter challenge coins is one of the easiest answers to that question.
The LAFD offers a number of different training options for their candidates. Before the real training even begins, candidates are given the opportunity to participate in the completely free Candidate Advancement Program. This program gives candidates the opportunity to get used to the physical demands of the training program before actual training begins.
Another free training offered by LAFD extends to firefighters interested in pushing their careers forward into positions of management and leadership. The Los Angeles Fire Department Leadership Academy provides classes and instruction based on a system built out of West Point. The classes are held at local LA universities and is offered free of change to any LAFD firefighter interested in taking advantage of it.
Graduation from any of these training programs is exactly the kind of occasion best marked with a LAFD challenge coins.

Hazards of Fighting Fires in California
Being a firefighter is difficult under the best conditions. California, however, is a place that has become synonymous with raging wildfires. A lot of this is because of the extended drought conditions in the desert state. Couple that with sporadic wind conditions, the unpredictable nature of fire and a nearly year-round fire season, and you can see how firefighting in California is an especially difficult feat.
These issues can be complicated further in LA, the second most populous city in the U.S. LAFD firefighters have to be prepared to contend with evacuating people out of harm’s way while also fighting the elements working to push the fire along. California is a unique and interesting place, that’s a big part of the reason custom California challenge coins have become so popular. But as such a unique and interesting place, it requires equally unique and interesting men and women to protect it.
