It is with great sadness that the County of Los Angeles Fire Department has announced the unexpected passing of Captain Steven McCann, Fire Station 166, Battalion 10. Captain McCann passed away, while on duty, on February 9, 2022. Captain was 48 years old and dedicated more than 16 years of faithful service to the community. He is survived by his mother, three daughters, grandchild, and siblings.
Captain McCann was a highly respected and esteemed firefighter who truly embodied our core values of courage, caring, commitment, community, integrity, and teamwork while on and off the job.
Captain McCann will be tremendously missed by all of us – and we will never forget him.

Edward Kelly, president of the International Association of Fire Fighters, said “Firefighters leave their homes and loved ones every day knowing the risks involved in our profession. The challenges of being a firefighter or paramedic include seeing and experiencing some of life’s most horrifying circumstances. Nothing, however, can adequately prepare anyone for today’s tragedy.”
He is survived by his wife and three daughters. Our sincerest condolences to Firefighter Specialist Tory Carlon’s family as well as his extended fire family.
