Los Angeles Fire Department
No indication of any particular notability or encyclopedic value. There are tens of thousands of such fire departments, most not relevant to anyone outside their service area, and indeed almost totally unknown outside said area. This dep[artment serves a very large city, but does not seem unique or notable otherwise. A paragraph in Los Angeles possibly with an extrnal link, would serve better to present such relevant information as there is on this topic. Delete. DES (talk) 21:34, 18 November 2005 (UTC) Keep this article and others like it. There are many interested users inside and outside of the fire service communuty. One of the great things about Wikipedia is articles about otherwise hard to research subjects like this.
 * Strong keep. Is this another WP:POINT situation, because I can't fathom why one of the major fire departments in the US would even be considered for AFD.
 * I think it's probably an unfortunate nomination, there's a lot of fire department stubs coming up all over the place which actually deserve listing. - Mgm|(talk) 10:00, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Fire department in a very large city. Deserves an article as much as the LAPD does. Sjakkalle (Check!)  08:55, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, notable fire department. --Vsion 22:34, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep if this is not notable, then no FD's are--Rogerd 00:55, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep per Sjakkalle's LAPD analogy. - Mgm|(talk) 10:00, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable, verifiable. - Willmcw 09:02, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
