This program was made possible by a partnership between APS and the LA Area Regional Training Group.
We also want to recognize leaders from multiple fire agencies across Los Angeles County, Ventura County, Orange County, San Bernardino County, Kern County, and Angeles National Forest, as well as the National Weather Service.
