The Los Angeles County Fire Department began in 1920 as the Los Angeles County Forestry Department & Los Angeles County Fire Protection Districts. The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors enlisted Stuart J. Flintham to lead the new department, and directed him to establish a program for fire prevention and firefighting in the county. He succeeded in opening 30 Fire Protection Districts, which served, and continue to serve, towns and the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County. Cities could choose to join the Fire Protection District by allocating property tax for this service. Cities formed as contract cities in the post-World War II period normally retained membership in the Fire Protection District.

In 1949 the Consolidated Fire Protection District (CFPD) was established by the Board of Supervisors through the consolidation of numerous fire districts which existed since the 1920’s. From 1967 to 1986 there existed four fire protection districts within Los Angeles County, all of which were governed by the Board of Supervisors: Consolidated Fire Protection District, Universal Fire Protection District, Dominguez Fire Protection District, and the Wrightwood Fire Protection District. In addition, there was the Forester and Fire Warden (F&FW) which is a chartered office of Los Angeles County and was funded by the General Fund.  While the four districts and the F&FW legally existed as five distinct, separate entities, they operated as a single, integrated entity.  The main purpose for maintaining the four districts’ separate legal status was for tax purposes.  The property tax rate for each district was considerably different. With the property tax limitations and standardization of tax rates established by Proposition 13 in 1978, there was no longer a need to maintain the separate districts.  Therefore, in 1986 the Universal, Wrightwood, and Dominguez districts were dissolved and annexed to the CFPD.

From 1986 to 1992 the F&FW and the CFPD were the two remaining legal entities that made up what is commonly known as the Los Angeles County Fire Department.  In 1992, the CFPD annexed all the remaining unincorporated area in the County and unified the two departments into the CFPD with a corresponding property tax transfer to fulfill the chartered responsibilities of the F&FW.

In 1975 the Whittier Fire Department was disbanded and fire protection was taken over by LACoFD. The department took over fire serve from the Azusa Fire Department when the were dissolved in 1983. In 1986 the Palos Verdes Estates Fire Department dissolved and the department took over fire service. In 1994 the Pomona Fire Department was disbanded and the LACoFD was contracted for service. In 1997 the Hawthorne Fire Department was dissolved and the department took over fire protection. El Monte Fire Department was dissolved in 1998 and fire service was contracted. In 1998 the Covina Fire Department and the Lynwood Fire Department were dissolved and the LACoFD was contracted for service. In 2000 Inglewood Fire Department dissolved and the LACoFD was contracted for service. In 2000 the Gardena Fire Department were dissolved and the service area was annexed into the district. The La Habra Fire Department was disbanded in 2005 and fire protection and emergency medical service was assumed by LACoFD. In 2017 Hermosa Beach Fire Department was disbanded and the service area was annexed into the LACoFD district. In 2020 the Vernon Fire Department was disbanded and fire protection and emergency medical service was assumed by LACoFD.
