Firefighter survival isn't just about gear and tactics; it’s about shared wisdom. This month, the LAFD In-Service Training Section (ISTS) is proud to present the 2nd Edition of the My Last Dying Breath series.
These aren't just training scenarios—they are raw, firsthand accounts from our members who faced the unthinkable. We want to thank these firefighters for their courage in sharing these deeply personal experiences. Their stories transform abstract lessons into impactful survival knowledge.
As we start the year focused on Firefighter Survival, we thank our partners and, most importantly, our members.
Thank you to the Los Angeles Fire Department Foundation for their support in funding this important project.
From the ISTS:
To the firefighters who stood on the edge and chose to share their stories, thank you.
Your experiences will educate, protect, and save lives.
The fire service is safer because of your courage.
