Repost from Los Angeles Fire Department - We want to share a story about a member of our family.
One of Your #LAFD firefighters, Eric Stevens, is facing the unimaginable....at only 30 years old he was diagnosed with #ALS.
Eric has quite a backstory, after playing for and Captaining the NCAA Division 1 football team at Cal Berkeley, he went on to play for the St Louis Rams.
In 2015, Eric joined the LAFD and was off to a strong career.
And then he was stopped in his tracks with this recent diagnosis.
If you would like to learn more about Eric's journey and his fight to advocate for early access to drugs and treatments for patients, we invite you to follow one of the below accounts.

🚒 Today Engine 17 is officially BACK IN SERVICE! After 7 years the residents on the #eastsidelongbeach and in the city of #LongBeach are now better protected with a water source in their immediate area. Engine 17 will also have a #paramedic on board as a Paramedic Assessment Unit to serve the residents.
Thank you to Mayor Robert Garcia and City Council Members especially Councilman Daryl Supernaw, Fourth District for advocating and approving this resource being placed back in service.

#LongBeachFireFighters Deployed to the Saddle Ridge Fire in Porter Ranch earlier this morning as Strike Team 1321A. Pray for our #Firefighters and residents in the area. #Repost from ABC7 #BREAKINGNEWS Mandatory evacuation orders have been issued after an aggressive brush fire broke out in Sylmar late last night, scorching over 4,600 acres and burning right up to homes and power lines. The wind-driven fire, dubbed the Saddleridge Fire, erupted shortly before 10 p.m. near the westbound 210 Freeway near Yarnell Street. Continuing live coverage at the link in our bio. Share photos and videos, shot from a safe distance, with #abc7eyewitness. Video: @abc7eileen

As firefighters, we see horrors few can imagine. While the call may end, the effects linger.
If we’re not careful, sometimes they can push us over the edge.
Experts Support Four-Person Staffing On Fire Engines/Trucks
Since 2004, the Long Beach Fire Department has lost 30 sworn positions and is now below 1970’s staffing levels when the department responded to 5000 emergency calls, compared to 2010’s 48,525 calls. The Long Beach Firefighters are especially concerned about a city proposal to cut staffing onboard firefighting units from four to three, since this will cause completely unnecessary life-threatening delays.
California law requires that there must be four firefighters on scene before a unit can deploy personnel into a fire. If a unit arrives with only three firefighters, it has to wait for back-up wasting critical time since fire doubles in size every minute. Lost time results in greater danger to those in the building, those fighting the fire, the structure itself and surrounding neighbors.
