Los Angeles Fire Dept. Station 79

Welcome to Los Angeles Fire Dept. Station 79, proudly serving the Gardena community and beyond. Located at 18030 South Vermont Avenue, Gardena, California 90248, our station is dedicated to ensuring the safety and well-being of all residents. As a vital part of the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), we are committed to saving lives, fighting fires, promoting safety and prevention, and building strong, resilient communities.

In light of the increasing threat of brush fires, we urge residents to stay prepared and informed. If you live near current incidents, please remain vigilant and keep your TV or radio on for updates. Have your family’s critical papers, phone data, pets, and other valuables ready for evacuation if necessary.

To enhance public safety, the LAFD, in collaboration with the Department of Transportation, has initiated a program to remove illegally parked vehicles in designated Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones. This initiative aims to educate the public on the dangers of fast-moving brush fires and the importance of keeping roadways clear for emergency services.

The picturesque canyons of Los Angeles present unique fire safety challenges due to their brushy hillsides and ornamental vegetation. Our department works tirelessly year-round to ensure compliance with the Fire Code, focusing on clearance and maintenance to mitigate fire risks.
