Today, August 30, 2023, marks the 14-year anniversary of the tragic deaths of LACoFD Fire Captain Tedmund “Ted” Hall and Fire Fighter Specialist (FFS) Arnaldo “Arnie” Quinones during the Station Fire in 2009.
Captain Hall and FFS Quinones were assigned to protect Camp 16. These two brave individuals made the ultimate sacrifice when Camp 16 was overrun. Their actions saved the lives of over 60 individuals who were also at Camp 16 during the fire.
To honor their lives and legacy, LACoFD personnel will join in an “All Call” at 5:00 p.m.
This moment of silence allows us to reflect on the great loss that has had a lasting impact on the Department.
While the years have passed, their sacrifice continues to inspire us all to be our best and watch over one another.

On Tuesday, May 30, 2023, the Los Angeles County Fire Department (LACoFD) honored fallen firefighters at its annual Firefighters’ Memorial Service at Department headquarters.
Each year, the LACoFD honors fallen first responders with a formal service.
Every name on the wall is read out loud, followed by the ringing of the bell in remembrance of their memory and legacy.
Fire Captain Steven McCann was added to the Firefighters’ Memorial wall this year.
Captain McCann passed away on February 9, 2022.
Family and friends of the fallen heroes joined Fire Chief Anthony C. Marrone and the Executive Team to pay their respects.
The memorial service was live-streamed on the Department’s YouTube channel for all of those who were unable to attend in person.
Every year since 1988, the widows in the Family Support Group attend the event to honor their spouses. They established the memorial wall project and the nonprofit Los Angeles County Firefighters’ Memorial Committee to allow them to pay tribute to the memory of the Department’s fallen firefighters.
