While they always say the public is welcome to visit the station, it is best for any grown-ass adult to bring a kid - your own or borrowed. Get paid triple-overtime when visiting on a Saturday with one of my favorite kids to babysit? Score!! LAFD Station 13 is extra special to me now. Not only is it literally down the street from Dino's Chicken and Burgers (Dino's Fries is all I need), but they have an Asian Captain (Represent!). And I got the most interesting fire station tour. All the fire trucks/engines were out on call so I got to see the KITCHEN and the LAUNDRY room. This is exactly the stuff I want to see but usually never. The kid saw a bunch of firefighters so he was skipping-back-to-the-car happy too. The crew at Fire station 13 was extremely welcoming. I don't recommend anyone/everyone walking up and taking time away from firefighters doing their work. I just happen to be in the area, and having a kid who makes the best puppy eyes, and had already paid the meter for an hour across the street. The chief happened to walk across the empty station and saw us wave. He waved back and could have kept walking inside but he opened the garage doors. Being oblivious to his apology that the station is empty (e.g. let him walk back to his office), we (mostly I) asked if we could check out the very cool-looking vintage truck out back. The chief was extremely kind and said yes and we ended up taking up an hour of his and his 9-person crew's time. Not only did we get to spend time on the vintage truck, the kid got 2 helmets (damn greedy kid), and got the best tour I have ever had. Saw all the rooms in the fire station (Turnout is where the gear for firefighters who were not working that day is stored; the fitness room; conference room; chiefs' offices; the fax machine that prints the calls that are dispatched to the station; the pole; and the commercial kitchen with 3 refrigerators). I am a behind-the-scenes person and this is the stuff I am interested in. By the way, I am posting photos from the tour so that others don't need to see it in person - it's nothing special but this is the stuff I like. The kid got to see a fire truck come back to the station AND a truck taking off to respond to a call broadcasted at the station (the red phone and white phone ringing and all) as well as firefighters hustling. That was cool, even for me. Firefighters talked to him, gave him a juice packet, offered him a hotdog, which he gobbled happily in the car and between bites wouldn't stop talking about the experience. The Asian captain even offered to put bulgogi on the hotdog. Love it! I wasn't expecting much when I waved in front of the garage door but turned out to be the best fire station experience yet. I won't show my face again because I don't want to waste their time again but am definitely grateful for the comprehensive tour and service that they provide to the Pico-Union area.

Honestly they really hurt my feelings last year haha. My apartment had water damage and it caused…read moreall of our fire alarms to go off for hours and hours. The overnight management for my apartment that I have just moved into told me to call the fire department. So I didn't want to, but I did because I wanted to sleep too and figure out if something was going on. So I called them and they showed up in three of them walked in and it was like two young people a guy and a girl and then an older man and the older man was really nice, but the chick was so standoffish and they young guy just was annoyed. Which I get bc it was early and it was my first time calling the fire department. Then they told me to never call the fire department again for something like this. Then a couple of months later, one of my roommates left a candle it and the fire alarms are going off for an hour. And I didn't react because the fire department told me not to call for something like that again. Well after an hour, I start smelling smoke and we have to call the fire department. Like I literally held off on calling because of how bad these firemen and fire lady hurt my feelings a few months earlier. Anyways they came for that too which I had already put the fire out! (Little fire lady myself) but they aired it out with a big fan. So yeah just be nice because chances are the person doesn't wanna have to call you it's just I don't know Jack about fire prevention or any of that jazz. You don't know the impression you're leaving on your community and how it can affect your community after that.

I was babysitting this kid taking him to the Fire Museum next door but they were about to close and the kid haven't had enough of fire stuff for the day. The only way to get him away from the doors so that the museum can close was to call his attention to the fire truck heading towards this station. We kept a distance away on the curb from the station garage doors. I was hoping the crew would wave to the kid (and he waves back enthusiastically), then close the door and then I would drive him home. Firefighters need their rest from getting called out all the time! But, the captain was incredibly kind to call to us while helping the truck back into the station, and invite us in. What gave away his rank was that his uniform differed in color from the rest of the crew and the crew didn't disperse as soon as the garage door came down. They watched their boss present. The captain also later confirmed his rank in conversation. I thought it was funny that the captain grilled the kid pretty hard. I'm not sure what milestones kids are supposed to reach at certain ages but this kid is not quite 4 years old yet he was able to answer all of captain's questions correctly. They were actually a bit technical for a preschooler! But then, when asked "what do firefighters do in their downtime when not out on a call?" the kid answered, "start a fire." ROFL. Not sure if the kid is going to grow up to be a firefighter or a comic. We got to see the different trucks (engine, truck, pumper), some of the insides of said trucks (who knew that besides the extremely long ladder of a tiller truck there are also a half dozen ladders inside of various lengths?), and what the mobile command center (back of the battalion chief's truck) looks like. It's not just physical work of putting out a fire. Firefighting involves physics and technology - it gets more interesting as I learn more about it. I won't be back so that these guys can have their peace and do their jobs saving lives and structures. Next time, I'll probably take this kid to the police station just around the block from here, bother them instead. I'm grateful to Station 27 for the welcoming and educational experience!

We have a low lying spot by our garage that only floods in torrential down pour. So I'm preparing ! The two firemen that answered the bell were very friendly. (Probably a little surprised someone was actually visiting their location. ) I asked about the sandbags (as I've heard they give free sandbags out at fire stations) and they said they have the bags but no sand at this location. They gave me locations of departments that did have sand and even showed me the locations on the map. So I got my sandbags (FREE) and I'll be stopping by the next station for the sand. There's really no reason to not be prepared! Stop by your local station (or call in advanced) and give these amazing men and women who protect us, a smile and a thank you.... while picking up your free sandbags. I've lived in this area all my life and I have never been inside the firehouse. I'm glad I got to stop in, in a non emergency situation and visit. A+

Firefighting is really hard work. I wanted to write this review to revive some of the attention…read morethat have died related to the recent wildfires, in hopes that folks will donate $$ to their foundation and support these firefighters in our city. LAFD Fire Station 58 is located on a slight bend on south Robertson, south of the Beverly Hills city limits, where traffic can get quite fast if the light is green. It's near the Robertson library and not far from where I work. So when I got a repeat side gig to watch a kid nearby for a couple of hours one early evening, I thought of the fine firefighters down the street, a slurpee at 7-Eleven across the street and the rest of the time at the library for a great time. 9 times out of 10 when I drive by, Station 58's garage door is closed but unlucky for them, they left their garage door open. Aside from hearing the sirens so much that I've kind of tuned them out altogether, I learned that this is a very active fire station not only because of the area of land they cover but also because central Dispatch would send their units all over the city. While we were there, an ambulance had to do a tandem shuffle and then go to LAX in rush hour traffic. Size-wise, it is nowhere as big as Beverly Hills' Headquarters but comparable to some of the LA fire stations from Brentwood to Koreatown that I have seen. Personnel-wise, here they have a female firefighter! And she is Asian! Doubly rare... and she was pretty cool. I learned that most firefighters will opt to use the stairs at this station if it's not a super duper urgent call because the landing from sliding down the pole hurts their knees and feet. I wonder why they don't install better padding at the bottom? Anyway, it was a short visit because EVERYONE got called out. At the end, it was me and the boy all alone in an empty fire station garage, so we walked ourselves out. Anyway, the year is almost over so make a donation to firefighters and write it off on your taxes!
