Since 1906, Los Angeles city firefighters have entrusted the Los Angeles Firemen’s Relief Association to be there for them and those they leave behind. The needs of our firefighters are unique because the profession poses many dangers and consequences. Founded on the mission of "firefighters helping firefighters," the Los Angeles Firemen’s Relief Association offers programs and assistance for firefighters and their families. The Association offers many benefits to its members through the LAFRA Fire Medical Plan, Relief Fund, Life & Accident Fund and the Widows, Orphans & Disabled Firefighter’s Fund.
