[edit] Los Angeles County Fire Department

No indication of any particular notability or encyclopedic value. There are tens of thousands of such fire departments, most not relevant to anyone outside their service area, and indeed almost totally unknown outside said area. A paragraph in Los Angeles County possibly with an extrnal link, would serve better to present such relevant information as there is on this topic. Delete. DES ^(talk) 21:02, 18 November 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: It is one of the largest fire departments in the US, and it helped pioneer such techniques as the use of paramedics. On the other hand, the article as it currently stands is a crappy little substub. For the time being, I think that the article should be turned into a redirect, with the text merged into the Los Angeles County, California article (while adding an HTML comment saying that if the section is ever expanded, then it should be moved back to the LA County Fire Dept. article). ^BlankVerse 13:00, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep should eventually have enough relevant content added to it to make a decent article. --DDerby-(talk) 07:07, 25 November 2005 (UTC)
