The Greater Alarm Gala is part of our overall 2009 fund-raising drive, titled "Firing Up our Future!" With the completion of our memorial plaza and the Fallen Firefighters Memorial, the LAFDHS is expanding our focus on life/safety education. Our emerging education programs provide essential messages and solutions to seniors and at-risk youth, not to mention families and children throughout Los Angeles.

The Firing Up Our Future capital campaign will help us in other key areas as well. Overall, our new mission includes:

TO EDUCATE

• Seniors regarding adult fire/life safety (including earthquakes!)
• At-risk youth regarding fire/life safety
• Children & families regarding fire life safety (including earthquakes!)
• All programs taught both at our facilities and in the community
• A multi-part educational history documentary film series of the LAFD

• Rehabilitation of Old Fire Boat No. 2, the Ralph J. Scott
• Exhibits at our museum facilities in Hollywood & San Pedro
• Our Research Library, which includes thousands of photographs and artifacts

• Maintaining our Fallen Firefighters Memorial
• The Fire Service through special community events
• The History of the LAFD (via film, books, and other media)
