Los Angeles Fire Department Battalion 5 Community Command of Hollywood, Los Feliz, Griffith Park, the Hollywood Hills and Cahuenga Pass

The Los Angeles Fire Department is a highly regimented agency that incorporates both paramilitary structure and command principles. Neighborhood Fire Stations are organized into groups, known as Battalions.

In daily command of the LAFD's "Battalion 5" is one Battalion Chief overseeing all personnel assigned to six Neighborhood Fire Stations in a 21.5 square mile district:

• Fire Station 27 - Hollywood, Whitley Heights
• Fire Station 35 - Hollywood east, Los Feliz, Griffith Park
• Fire Station 41 - Hollywood west, Hollywood Hills west
• Fire Station 52 - Southeast Hollywood
• Fire Station 76 - Cahuenga Pass, Hollywood Hills, Hollywood Bowl
• Fire Station 82 - Hollywood, Hollywood Hills east, Thai Town

There are three Battalion Chiefs assigned to Battalion 5. They work on the same rotating Platoon Duty schedule as the Neighborhood Firefighters they command. These Battalion Chiefs answer directly to an Assistant Chief of the Department.

Most local non-emergency matters, such as reporting a fire hazard can be quickly handled by contacting your Neighborhood Fire Station via 3-1-1.

To discuss an administrative issue or express concerns of a community-wide nature within the jurisdiction of Battalion 5, please contact the on-duty Battalion Chief:
