Driven to Respond. Built to Serve.
LAIT911 is a volunteer-driven fire and rescue nonprofit committed to reducing the impact of disasters and delivering critical support to the public before, during, and after emergencies. Our trained teams respond to wildfires, floods, medical emergencies, and large-scale incidents across Los Angeles and Southern California.
Prepared to act. Committed to serve.
At LAIT911, we provide dependable and high-impact disaster response services across the communities of Los Angeles. Our mission is rooted in compassion, professionalism, and urgency — responding swiftly to both natural and man-made emergencies to protect life, property, and public safety.
Our team is volunteer-driven, powered by individuals who bring professional-grade training to every deployment. The majority of our field staff are California-licensed EMTs and certified firefighters, with additional expertise in disaster operations and emergency response. Our training standards exceed baseline requirements, ensuring every mission is executed with tactical skill, confidence, and care.
LAIT911 has partnered with multiple City of Los Angeles departments, and continues to collaborate with government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and mutual-aid networks to strengthen Southern California’s emergency response framework. We operate in alignment with ICS and NIMS principles to remain ready and interoperable.
LAIT911 delivers a wide range of critical response services, with a core emphasis on wildland fire suppression and proactive fire mitigation in high-risk environments. Our teams also respond to flooding and severe weather incidents, provide traffic control and operational safety, and support logistics and mass care during large-scale emergencies. When needed, we can deploy satellite-based communications to maintain coordination in areas where traditional systems are unavailable.
In addition to our field operations, we’ve developed the LAIT911 App — a public-facing emergency alert system available on Web, iOS, and Android. Integrated directly with Los Angeles’ 911 dispatch feeds, the app delivers real-time alerts to keep the public informed and ready during active emergencies.
As a public nonprofit, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of accountability and transparency, maintaining full compliance with oversight from local, state, and federal agencies. Our commitment to integrity and service is what drives us — every hour, every deployment, every time.
“Every step we take is for the resilience and safety of Los Angeles, ensuring that in times of emergency, our community stands strong together.
