Six Los Angeles Fire Department members will be honored at a ceremony at Dodger Stadium later this week with Valor Awards for distinguished heroism.
LAFD Chief Jamie Moore will preside over the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation’s annual awards ceremony Friday, when the LAFD members will honored “for their outstanding service above and beyond the call of duty,” according to the department.
“From life-saving actions during critical incidents to heroic on- and off-duty rescues, the 2026 Valor honoree stories represent a small glimpse of the sacrifices LAFD firefighters make daily to protect Los Angeles,” according to the LAFD.
The honored LAFD members are expected to be on hand to share their stories at the ceremony, which was expected to have more than 450 elected officials, business proprietors, philanthropists and others in attendance.
The event will feature a cocktail reception, dinner on the field followed by a color guard and bagpiper procession before opening remarks begin around 6 p.m. The awards presentation is scheduled to begin about 7:15 p.m. Friday.
Specialized LAFD equipment, hazardous materials demonstrations and other activities are planned as part of the celebration.
