LAFD Welcomes New Fire Commissioners

The Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) welcomes four new members, newly appointed by Mayor Eric Garcetti, to the LAFD Fire Commission:

• Andrew Glazier
• Jimmie Woods Gray 
• Dr. Jimmy Hara
• Delia Ibarra

The LAFD is overseen by a five-person civilian board appointed by the Mayor and affirmed by the City Council. Pursuant to the City Charter, this diverse and qualified group establishes goals and provides direction to the Department through Fire Chief Brian L. Cummings.

Our Department openly welcomes them to their new positions and the LAFD family. Each of them brings a diverse background of knowledge and experience from which our Department will surely benefit. 

"I look forward to collaborative opportunities, not only in facing the challenges confronting our Department, but also in improving the services we provide our Los Angeles community. I would like to extend heartfelt appreciation to Genethia Hudley-Hayes, Casimiro Tolentino, Andrew Friedman, and Alan Skobin for their dedicated services.  Their leadership certainly contributed to maintaining the high standards of one of the finest all-risk, fire departments in the world.  I wish them the very best in their future endeavors." - Fire Chief Brian L. Cummings.
