LAFD Air Operations fire station will be home base for Rams on NFL Draft Day

The Los Angeles Rams will honor first responders with a draft day home like no other. The team will make the selections from the Los Angeles Fire Department’s Air Operations base in Van Nuys to honor the first responders who fought the deadly January wildfires.

โ€œDrafting from LAFD Air Operations is a powerful reminder of what it means to represent Los Angeles,โ€ said Los Angeles Rams President Kevin Demoff. โ€œSince the wildfires devastated our region in January, we have looked to bring LA Together to help with the recovery efforts, raise the spirits of those impacted, and shine a light on our first responders. We are humbled to partner with LAFD during one of the NFLโ€™s biggest moments to express gratitude for those who risk their lives daily to protect our city.โ€

LAFD Air Operations will remain fully operational during the event. The team released a video featuring coach Sean McVay and general manager Les Snead arriving at the fire station in the San Fernando Valley was posted on the Ramsโ€™ social media platforms. The team is working with Zillow to renovate the LAFD Air Operations recreation room to make it a more comfortable place for firefighters to rest between callouts during 24-hour shifts.
