Los Angeles Fire Department Battalion 12 Community Command of the northeast San Fernando Valley

The Los Angeles Fire Department is a highly regimented agency that incorporates both paramilitary structure and command principles. Neighborhood Fire Stations are organized into groups, known as Battalions.

In daily command of the LAFD's "Battalion 12" is one Battalion Chief overseeing all personnel assigned to seven Neighborhood Fire Stations in a 73 square mile district:

• Fire Station 7 - Arleta, Sepulveda, North Hills
• Fire Station 24 - Sunland, Shadow Hills, Lake View Terrace
• Fire Station 74 - Tujunga, Sunland
• Fire Station 75 - Mission Hills, west City of San Fernando
• Fire Station 77 - Sun Valley, Shadow Hills, La Tuna Canyon
• Fire Station 91 - Sylmar, northeast City of San Fernando
• Fire Station 98 - Pacoima, Lake View Terrace, southeast City of San Fernando

There are three Battalion Chiefs assigned to Battalion 12. They work on the same rotating Platoon Duty schedule as the Neighborhood Firefighters they command. These Battalion Chiefs answer directly to an Assistant Chief of the Department.

Most local non-emergency matters, such as reporting a fire hazard can be quickly handled by contacting your Neighborhood Fire Station via 3-1-1 or (866)4-LACITY.

To discuss an administrative issue or express concerns of a community-wide nature within the jurisdiction of Battalion 12, please contact the on-duty Battalion Chief:
